"I can bring back Ghana’s lost glory"
The 2012 Independent Presidential candidate Jacob Osei Yeboah has promised to provide a good and modern identification system to solve the issues surrounding the voter register.
“Why are we having all these challenges with EC with people going to the Supreme Court? It is because we don’t have a good identification system. I will transform our identity system and it shall be the base of setting the country on the path of becoming a resilient economy in the sub-region. All I am asking is Ghanaians should give me a chance and I will bring Ghana back to its lost glory.
“We can do it and I will do it that will be the very first thing I will tackle when given the nod, we need it and it will help in so many ways not only for voters card registration,” Osei Yeboah told Accra-based Onua FM.

The controversy over the credibility of the electoral roll has resulted in many stakeholders proposing for a national identity card which could be the only recommended document for securing a voters identity card.
The Electoral Commission has so far deleted the names of those who used the National Health Insurance cards as a basis for registration, and has given them the opportunity to re-register.
Meanwhile, Osei Yeboah has expressed firm belief that he will win the November polls, saying that majority of the chiefs and traditional rulers as well as the clergy are solidly behind him.
He also warned politicians and Ghanaians in general to avoid stockpiling arms and ammunition ahead of the elections, as this might bring mayhem and disrupt the polls.
