EC’s Communications Director, Eric Dzakpasu, had earlier said at a press conference last Friday that “there is no evidence that when an extension is granted, the remaining people will come out of their houses or communities to get their name re-registered.”

After an IPAC meeting on Wednesday, the EC stated that the re-registration exercise, which was supposed to end on August 5, has been extended to August 12, 2016.
Afenyo Markin argues the Commission cannot use an administrative decision to deny people the opportunity to re-register.
