The Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG) has strongly indicated that it has no apology to render to Dr. Afari-Gyan, Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC).
This was after Bernard Mornah, General Secretary of the People�s National Convention (PNC) asked them to apologise for calling for the head of the EC Boss and accusing him of incompetence.
AFAG in a statement accused the Chairman of the EC of �negligence or incompetence�.
They also stated that it �finds the continuous stay of Dr. Afari-Gyan in office as unconscionable and an act against reason.�
Speaking in an interview on Peace FM news, Mr. Opoku Davis, Operational Director of AFAG quizzed: �What kind of apology�.
According to him, the EC Boss as well as the Commission itself should rather apologise to the Ghanaian electorate for allowing so many malpractices in the previous elections.
�What kind of apology? If anybody is to apologize, it will be Dr. Afari-Gyan and the EC; they need to apologise to Ghanaians and not us (AFAG). If he (Afari-Gyan) didn�t do his work well, why should we apologise to him�.
He noted that no electoral reform will be well executed by the EC if Dr. Afari-Gyan still stays in office.
�He has nothing to say...the EC requested for recommendation for electoral reforms and a lot of people have reacted to it. Clearly, you will realize that looking at the number of people who are speaking to reforming the electoral laws have a problem with what happened in the previous election; hence the need for reforms. We are saying that before there will be any reform, Dr. Afari-Gyan should be out of the way for it to be well implemented�.
