EC hit with fresh suit
The Electoral Commission has been hit with fresh suit challenging its decision to compile a new register.
The suit wants the Supreme Court to properly interpret Article 45(a) of the 1992 constitution which gives the EC the power to compile a voter’s register.
It states: the Electoral Commission shall have the power to “(a) compile the register of voters and revise it at such periods as may be determined by law”
The suit was filed by a private citizen, Mark Takyi-Banson.
The fresh legal challenge is similar to the one contained in the main opposition NDC’s legal suit against the EC.
But that first leg of their case was dropped in court during a hearing on Thursday, June 11.
The second leg of the NDC’s case which is now the focus in court is that the EC’s decision to exclude the use of the old voter ID cards in the new voter registration exercise is illegal.
In the fresh suit that revisits the abandoned leg of the NDC’s case, the plantiff argues that the EC only has the power to revise and expand the voter’s register.
But not to compile a fresh one.
He should have asked his paymasters why dropped their argument on the constitutionality of the ec compiling a new voters register. An exercise in futility.
Can’t people think anymore? Can’t individual Ghanaians have their own opinions anymore? Why must people be associated with so-called “paymasters”?
Today when you criticize an obvious wrong in government, you’re NDC. Let’s start thinking.
You’re an idiot and a dog! Sorry but you deserve this for thinking that any Ghanaian who thinks and acts independently is a puppet of a political party. You fools destroy a nation!
It’s just a waste of time but one thing I know is new register will be compiled at the end of all this.
The NDC is our problem in Ghana, they hate progress
