"BE AGENTS OF PEACE”–ELECTORAL COMMISSION CHAIRPERSON URGES FIRST TIME VOTERS


The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, has urged all First Time Voters to be agents of peace as Ghana prepares to hold Presidential and Parliamentary Elections on December 7, 2020.

Ms. Mensa noted that the “destiny of this country is in the hands of the youth and their participation in the political process is key. However, the youth need to put the interest of the country first by standing out as agents of peace before, during and after the elections.”

The Chairperson said this when she met with Youth Bridge Foundation, a youth group aimed at mobilizing and building the capacity of Ghanaian First Time Voters to ensure they make informed decisions when they go to the polls.

Led by actress Clara Amoateng Benson also known as Maame Serwaa, the youth group commended the Commission’s Let the Citizen Know initiative for its role in giving them an opportunity to understand and be part of the electoral process.



The actress, herself a First Time Voter, led her colleagues to make a pledge to support the Commission’s voter education campaign and play an advocacy role in the efforts to get the youth in Ghana to respect the electoral process.

“We are happy that for the first time, the youth in this country are showing a keen interest in the electoral process. I urge them to review the policies and programmes of the various political parties before casting their vote. I also encourage them to turn up in their numbers early on election day and vote,” Ms. Jean Mensa added.

On his part, Dr. Bossman Eric Asare, Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission in charge of Corporate Services assured all registered voters and the First Time Voters that their registration details are intact and that the Commission will continue to be fair, transparent and also uphold the integrity of the electoral process.

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.
