A survey conducted by the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana has suggested that six out of 10 Ghanaians are in favour of new voters register for the 2020 elections.
According to the department, many of the respondents believe a new register will ensure the credibility of the polls.
According to the report, 27,500 were interviewed across the 16 regions.
The survey comes in the wake of the standoff between some political parties and the electoral commission over attempt by the commission to create a new register
