All registration centres in the North Tongu constituency will be disinfected twice a day during the mass voter registration exercise, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced.

This was after Mr Ablakwa successfully secured a partnership with Zoomlion to that effect as part of measures to prevent further spread of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.

Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) began the compilation of a new register for the 7 December polls across the country on Tuesday, 30 June 2020.

The exercise is supposed to be done in phases.

Each phase is expected to span six days.

According to Mr Ablakwa, no Ghanaian deserves to contract the deadly virus because they attempted to vote for him or the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) John Dramani Mahama.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, 4 July 2020, Mr Okudzeto said: “Happy to announce that I have secured a successful partnership with Zoomlion to disinfect twice daily, all polling stations in my beloved constituency throughout the period of the EC’s mass voter registration”.

“It is my hope that this latest initiative will enhance safety conditions, as we combine efforts to defeat the marauding COVID-19”.

“Nobody deserves to contract the corona only because they were attempting to register to vote for me, as MP, and H.E. John Mahama as President or any other choice for that matter on December 7.”
