The Electoral Commission (EC) has initiated the replacement of voter ID cards for constituents of Guan in preparation for the 2024 general elections.

The Guan Constituency includes the towns of Santrokofi, Agbafu, Lolobi, and Likpe (SALL), which were excluded from the 2020 elections due to the establishment of the new Oti Region.

This development means that the residents of SALL will have a Member of Parliament (MP) in the 2024 elections.

Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chair of the EC, announced this at a press conference in Accra.

He explained that the replacement of voter ID cards is necessary because, in 2020, voters in the Guan District registered in the Jasikan District.

With the creation of the Guan District, the voter ID cards originally issued under the Jasikan District are being updated to reflect the code of the Guan District.

The replacement process will run from October 3 to November 2, 2023.
