The National Peace Council (NPC) has stated that Ghanaians must be careful on how they portray the Electoral Commission (EC) in their wake in ensuring transparency, farness and credible electoral process.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Graphic, the Executive Secretary of NPC, George Amoh said that “We must be careful the way and manner we portray the EC in our efforts to ensure transparency, fairness and credibility in its processes. Let us be careful not to push the EC into a situation where Ghanaians do not trust whatever the EC does,”
According to him, a credible elections can be possible if all Ghanaians, including Civil Society Organisation (CSOs) had a role to play. He futher added that “Let us use the EC’s elaborate systems and laid down procedures to address our problems or concerns.”
Wading into the ongoing Voters’ Registeration, Mr. Amoh said political parties or their agents did not have to look at the size or height of an individual to say he or she was a minor, stressing that “if you believe the person is a minor or a foreigner, use the laid down procedure to challenge the registration”.
“We do not need to fight at registration centres,” he said. Mr Amoh said all stakeholders must encourage persons qualified to register to do so instead of preventing them from registering.
