He made the pledge when some traditional council members of Ziavi in the Volta Region paid a call on him at the Jubilee House.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama is also calling on the Electoral Commission to rescind their decision to compile a new voters’ register.
He argued that the country does not have enough time to compile the new register.
“If you look at the amount of time left and the fact that they are now going to bring in new machines and start writing names for a new register and then train people to man the machines, we are saying the time left is too short,” Mr Mahama said.
He followed up with a warning that if chaos should occur on election day, the EC must be prepared to take the blame.
“If they say they won’t listen and they will go ahead with their new register plans and chaos happens, they should own up and accept responsibility,” he noted.
