Nana Ohene Ntow, Special advisor to Independent President aspirant, Alan Kyerematen, has told the Electoral Commission (EC) that the provisional register for the December elections should not be made available to the political parties alone.
He says all independent presidential aspirants deserve to have a copy of the electoral roll.
