According to Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho, for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to submit over 76,000 supposed 'foreign voters' to the Electoral Commission for deletion exposes NPP’s hatred for Voltarians.
Dr. Bawumia made a presentation during the election petition where he claimed that Ghana’s electoral roll is flawed with names of minors and over 76,000 Togolese.
He also claimed that other African nationals from Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso are also on the roll hence the need for a new one to be compiled before the 2016 general elections but the Electoral Commission rejected the claims describing it as unconvincing.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday in the Volta region, Anyidoho said, "Have we ever sat down to plot evil against the Ashanti region because it is the stronghold of the NPP, certainly not"
"It is now clear as daylight that Dr, Bawumia’s evil agenda of presenting fake voters’ register from Togo and making a false claim that thousands of Togolese have their names on Ghana’s register (specifically from the Volta region) feeds into the UP tradition’s sick thinking that the Volta region is not part of Ghana.

He said, "They insult us, they spit on us, they consider us to be Togolese (Not that there is anything wrong to being Togolese) and when we refuse to vote for them, they say we are inward looking. Why shouldn’t we look inward when the view outside is not pleasant to the eye?."

"This whole nonsensical approach by Bawumia to create a false impression that thousands of Togolese vote in the Volta region is deeply rooted in the UP tradition agenda against Voltarians and Volta region.”
