"We agree that some people are not Ghanaians but they are on the voter’s register. We should do it again because it is not good. There are so many people now on the voter's register and I agree to the new voter’s register. If we get a clean register to vote, it will help,” he said.
According to former president Kufuor, the register still contains names of persons who registered with NHIS cards and drivers’ licence despite a directive from the Supreme Court to get those names expunged from the register.
