According to him, the evidence is damning and shows that Ghana's register is bloated.

At a news conference to present a case for a new voters' register, Dr. Bawumia said the uncovering of these foreign nationals in the register is just “10% of the search.”

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia said, “Our investigative team obtained the Togo voters’ register which was publicly displayed prior to the 2015 Togolese elections. Using facial biometric recognition technology, the system has found 76,286 potential matches of the same people, with the same names and faces on the Ghanaian as well as Togolese voters registers; some 2000 of which we present in the power point presentation.”
