The Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress [NDC], Elvis Afriyie Ankrah says the new advanced security measures introduced by the Electoral Commission [EC] cannot in any way, intimidate or silence the opposition party at Inter-Party Advisory Committee [IPAC] meetings.
There was anger among some political party representatives during an IPAC meeting held on Thursday, following the presence of armed police personnel, reportedly brought in by the commission.
The party representatives say they went through stringent security checks, not excluding vigorous scanning, before they were allowed into the conference room for the meeting.
This, according to Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, was “unnecessary” – since the meeting wasn’t related to “war”.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show, Mr Ankrah however said “We [NDC] are not shaken by the move. It’s funny. Who was going to harm the EC?”
“Why would they [EC] bring a police officer dressed like an Afghanistan war soldier to a peaceful meeting? That won’t distract us in any way or stop us from talking,” he said.

So this Brazil world cup corrupt Elvis guy is still around and talking? What happened to the Dzamefe commission report? This guy must be sent to Nsawam prison.
YOU ALWAYS DEVIATE FROM THE ACTUAL FACTS OF THE MATTER AT STAKE. HOW MANY OF THESE AFGHANISTAN DRESSED PERSONNEL ARE AT OUR BOARDERS WAITING FOR THE INTRUDERS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CITIZENS REPS TO MEET THE EC BOSS TO DISCUSS ISSUES THAT MATTER ON THE ELECTION.WHERE DO YOU NEED THESE HEAVILY ARMED SECURITY MEN.SINCE THE TIME OF MR.CRABB,DR.AFARI GYAN,AND MS.CHARLLOTTE OSEI WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU SEE THIS. IT IS ONLY THE TIME OF KING OF BASASA NANA AKUFFU ADDO THAT WE FEELING THIS KIND OF INSECURITY ALL OVER. GOD HELP US.
The world cup hero is now talking The Gyeda report that indicted him no one is acting on it so he he has boldness to represent his party Anokwa Have you forgotten Charlotte Osei’s security arrangement so soon Or you were so busy grabbing that u didn’t represent your party?
STUPIDITYYY IS THE GREATEST EVIL. WE ARE ALL AWARE OF CAUTION OF NATIONAL SECURITY BY SOUNDING WARNING FOR ATTACK OF TERRORIST IN WEST AFRICA SUB REGION. THE POLICE IN VIEW OF THAT IS SUPPORTING CHURCHES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS TO TIGHTENED SECURITY. THE PROVISION OF SECURITY FOR A MEETING INVOLVING POLITICAL PARTIES AND EC NEED TO BE SECURED. COUPLED WITH LEAK TAPE OF OFOSU AMPOFO, THE EC AND ANY ORGANIZATION MUST BECOME SECURITY CONSCIOUS AND CORPORATE WITH POLICE IN PROVIDING SECURITY. IT IS THEREFORE DISINGENUOUS,SHAMEFUL AND LACK OF CORRECTNESS FOR ANY ONE TO CRITICIZE POIICE PROTECTION GRANTED TO THEM.
How could a common security arrangement by EC be a means to intimidate the NDC? I guess the intimidation will only come because the NDC's secret plot to harm the EC chair is being threatened. These NDC guys are really Ev*il and actually planned to execute the plot in the leaked tape. Whoever leaked that tape deserves national recognition. NDC is crimi*nal minded and they are behind all the kidnappings.
I blame this gov't for allowing these NDC criminals to walk free and spew ***barred word***. ***barred word*** Afriyie Ankrah must ***barred word***,as the EC reforms the commission.
Ohhhhhhh, so this th-ief is still alive? hhhhhh " TAFLATSE" MAN
All criminals in ndc party claims they have thick skin we have ***barred word*** like afriye Ankara, kwakye ofosu, muntaka, and many others, whom npp Government is treating them like a Arabian kings.Npp shine your eyes and deal with this criminals else you will laugh at the wrong side of your mouth come 2020 eletions.
Some people have no shame especially bring a member of thd ndc mean credibility and shame is off the table and such people were once upon a time called leaders in Ghana,I don't blame him but those who voted for Prof. Mills on the runoff caused the insults, arrogance and bluff of these people! they think talking anyhow is toughness and that could intimidate Ghanaians to submission but they will have the shock of their lives. When they sent soldiers to protect Charlotte Osei that was not Iraq then,their ***barred word****ity is beyond reasoning ! why wouldn't they seek for protection when you ndc idi*ots led by your afuom okuraseni general secretary take politics as do or die go there with your own agenda and oppose anything they bring across with provocation? I don't think it will be like that if ndc are civil, when dealing with the jungle people who lack understanding you need to protect yourself first before they strike with their pri*mitive mentality ! when ndc learn to be civil I think Afghanistan lifestyle will Stop; IRRITANTS
World cup hero...
