More than 27,590 residents of Prestea/ HuniValley registered during the first phase of the Biometric Voter Registration Exercise.
The District Electoral Officer for Prestea/Huni Valley, Mr. Kwadwo Debrah-Gyamfi, told the Ghana News Agency in an interview that 37 polling stations out of the total 40 polling centers they covered in the exercise recorded that figure.
He said although his outfit encountered challenges such as freezing of computers and printers, they were able to register many people in the district.
Mr. Debrah-Gyamfi said they had estimated to register 90,000 people by the end of the exercise and with the immense improvement in the first phase of the exercise they were hopeful to meet their target.
He commended agents of political parties for their teamwork and appealed to those who qualified to register in the on-going exercise to wait patiently for the registration officers to get to their localities.**
