The Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD) has urged the (EC) to increase the inclusion and accessibility for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to the voting process of the 2024 General Election. It noted that there were unresolved problems in member accessibility during voter registration and said such issues must be addressed ahead of the December polls. Mr Richmond E. Dadzie, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, GFD, made the call during the presentation of the Monitoring Report of the Limited Voter's Registration Exercise, at the GFD National Advocacy Committee's engagement with the EC in Accra. The observation exercise was conducted in forty-five districts across nine of the sixteen regions, with five districts observed in each region.
