“I’m saying this is provisional because by the end of the exhibition, we anticipate that we will undertake some corrections, there will be some inclusions, there will be some exclusions based on what information is available to the party at every constituency," he said.
The exhibition, which will run concurrently at all the 275 constituencies, will among others seek to clean what the party has described as “undesirable elements” from the register.According to Mr. Ampofo, the final document would be made available to both the presidential aspirants and the parliamentary aspirants across the country.
“We are conducting the exercise in open and transparent manner. Once we finish with the exhibition, we will then come out with a composite register which will reflect the electoral areas because our voting centres will be designated at various electoral areas. We are doing all this in the spirit of transparency, openness and fairness so that by the end of this exercise everyone will have confidence in the process that we have embarked upon,” he added.Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo has therefore urged all aspirants to take active part in the exhibition on Thursday as the party is ready to make the registers available to all aspirants upon request.
