Volta CPP And Parliamentary Candidates Call For Electoral Reforms

The Volta Regional Secretariat of the Conventions People�s Party (CPP) and its 21 parliamentary candidates have added their voices to the need for credible electoral reforms that will safeguard public investment into processes leading to elections. They called on the Electoral Commission and its allies to insulate themselves from influences, coercion and intimidation and remain neutral in the discharge of their Constitutional mandates. Spokeswoman for the group and candidate for Kpando Constituency, Mrs Jemima Exonam Lorenz said this at a press conference last Wednesday at Ho. She said although the December 7 peaceful, it was far from free and fair as portrayed by the various bodies that monitored the election. Mrs Lorenz said the conduct of the incumbent was an affront to the multiparty democratic credentials of the country which is fast becoming the beacon of hope for African.
