Audio Attachment:Click to listen to Bossman and Afriyie Ankrah |
The Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has condemned the Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC) for some comments made which according to him smacks of arrogance.
Dr. Eric Bossman Asare while speaking to the brouhaha surrounding the EC’s decision to compile a new voters register, said the Commission does not need any political party's permission to produce a new register.
A release by the EC after an ‘Inter-Party Advisory Committee’ (IPAC) meeting indicated that it would compile a new voters’ register for the 2020 General Elections.
However, the NDC issued a statement denying contents of the statement saying the decision for a new voters' register was not discussed at the IPAC meeting and further demanded that the EC withdraw what it describes as a “deceptive communique”.
Speaking further on the issue during an interview on Citi Eyewitness news he said “Let me make this point very very clear . . . if the Electoral Commission wants to have a new register, we don’t have to consult the political parties to do it; by law we have the right; the constitution makes it very clear to us. If we want a new register, and if in the thinking of the Commission . . . a new register has become necessary, we don’t have to consult the political parties . . . we will decide".
His remarks did not, however, go down well with Afriyie Ankrah.
Speaking on the same platform, he asked Dr. Bossman to go to Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan, a former Chairman of the Commission for advise.
“I am scandalised listening to him; where is this young man coming from? This young man is a danger and a threat to the peace and stability of this country. His tone, posture and language . . . he needs to go to Dr Afari Gyan and learn some lessons.. . . . This kind of disdain and behaviour, we are not going to accept it. He should better position himself. He should go to Afari Gyan and learn," he said.

Wow! I am sure Elvis would have beaten the sh*t out of this man if they were face to face, because his response to Bossman is quite vehement. In an era Nana Addo's presidency where people's lives are daily in danger you don't go posturing the way Bossman is. A word to a wise is ok.
Very soon Bossman Asare will be wearing mask, the way he is misbehaving.
The way this TEIN member of the electoral commission is going, he is unnecessarily exposing himself to the venom of the NDC and if he doesn't take care HE and Jean Mensah may not even be around to supervise the 2020 elections. 2020 is certainly not going to be a child's play, so they should be extremely cautious. HE DOESN'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF NDC, Let me remind him that in 2008 elections kuffour was in power but NDC marshalled its supporters to storm the EC offices amidst the presence of heavy military and police presence. If he thinks nana addo appointed for a specific agenda, then he needs to revise his note. I am sure he loves his children.
This s/t/u/pid Bossman boy should learn to think before talking. I wonder if Bossman's brains are in his ***barred word***. Bossman is a serious danger to our democracy. You don't need any political party before changing the electoral roll. Common sense is not in academic qualifications.
EVERYTHING R. BOSMAN SAD IS TRUE AND HE WAS VERY CANDID WHICH PERHAPS SOME POLITICAL PARTIES ARE NOT USED TO IT LIKE. WHEN ELVIS AFRIYIE ANKRA BRAZIL CORRUPT CRIER CRITICIZED DR. BOSMAN OF HIS POSTURE I TAUGHT HE WAS GOING TO REACT WITH SOBER. STRANGELY HIS TONE AND POSTURE WAS NO BETTER. HE NEVER SHOWED HIMSELF AS LEARNING ANY LESSONS FROM HIS HUMILIATION AS ONE OF THE CORRUPT MINISTER GHANA HAS EVER HAD TO INFLATE EVEN THE COST OF COCONUT HE ATE IN BRAZIL
