Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketia has reiterated his calls for the leadership of the Electoral Commission to be removed.
He holds the view that Ghana has a very wrong election management body in place, and until they are removed, the right things can’t be done.
Chairman Asiedu Nketia was speaking to Accra-based Joy News on the delay in declaring the winner of the Ablekuma North constituency parliamentary election.
“We are having a wrong election management body in place and so that is a subject of reset in future. It means that bringing it back to an institution fit for purpose, the way it exists now, is not fit for purpose. You cannot have, with all the laws that we have, you cannot still be having an election that will go into a stalemate.
There is no anticipation of any stalemate in an election in our laws unless people don’t want to do their work well. And so it is a clear case of negligence or inability to perform its function, and it a good reason why the electoral commission needs a reset,” he stated.
Asiedu Nketia cited what happened to SALL some four years ago, indicating that the current leadership has not done well in the performance of their duties as electoral commissioners, and therefore they must go for badly performing on the job.
