Allow students to vote – Mahama orders SHS heads
President John Dramani Mahama has asked heads of
various Senior High Schools to allow registered
students to go and vote on Election Day.

According to President Mahama, no student must be
disenfranchised during the December polls saying
measures must be put in place to allow qualified
students cast their vote.

The directive by the President comes on the back
of fears that some registered students can be
disenfranchise on Election Day.

The President gave the order when he opened the
22nd Community Day Senior High School in Dieaso in
the Central region on Monday.

“I stand here and ask all headmasters of
secondary schools, I know some of your students
who are 18 years registered and are qualified to
vote so please when the time is due for election,
please allow them to go and vote.”

The President is currently in the Central region
campaigning for a second term in office as
Ghanaians head to the polls on December 7.

On Monday, pollster Ben Ephson predicted that the
president will win the presidential election with
52.4 percent while New Patriotic Party’s Nana
Akufo-Addo is expected to chalk 45.9% with the
other parties claiming a meagre 1.7%.
