A member of the Communication team of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abass Nurudeen is surprised at how the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is defending the Electoral Commission following its decision to compile a new voters' register ahead of the elections in December.
According to him, "all of a sudden the NPP has become a Public Relations(PR) consultant for the EC."
Abass Nurudeen who was contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrooko', described the current EC as "the worst that we have had in terms of competence and even management of the administrative processes of the Electoral Commission."
"You don’t see the head and tail of what they are doing," he added.

Who is this greehon. in politics.
IF EC HAVE TO SATISFY EVERY PARTY INTEREST, THEN THERE WILL BE OVER 30 INTEREST THE EC WOULD HAVE TO SATISFY. EC HAS TO SATISFY ITS OWN INTEREST TO UPHOLD THE INTEGRITY OF ELECTIONS IN GHANA. THOUGH EC MAY TRY TO SEEK THE COOPERATION OF THE PARTIES IT MUST ALWAYS BE THE PARAMOUNT INTEREST TO WORK OUT THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD ENSURE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. NO ARMED ROBBER WILL EVER BE PLEASED IF THE POLICE BEEF UP SECURITY. THAT SHOULD NOT STOP THE POLICE TO STRENGTHENED ITS NETWORK FOR SECURITY. EVERY PARTY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY LACUNA IN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM TO COMMIT FRAUD. A LOOSING PARTY IN ANY ELECTION WILL WISH TO HAVE A LACUNA EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT HAVE THE MONOPOLY TO COMMIT FRAUD. A LOOSING PARTY MAY WISH FOR LACUNA FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST REASON, A LOSING PARTY ALWAYS INVEST HEAVILY IN FRAUD WITH THE HOPE TO CHEAT AND WIN. IF IT SUCCEED TO WIN IT BECOMES OK FOR THEM. SECOND REASON, LOOSING PARTY WISH FOR LACUNA IN ORDER TO COMMIT FRAUD. IF IT LOSES IT DRAWS THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC TO THE LACUNA AND ACCUSE THE WINNER AS EXPLOITING THE LACUNA TO WIN. SO LACUNA ALWAYS BECOME A WIN WIN STRATEGY AT EVERY SIDE FOR LOSERS. LACUNA IS HOWEVER DAMAGING TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTORAL BODY. IT IS ALWAYS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE RULING PARTY. FOR EC TO UPHOLD ITS INTEGRITY AND THE RULING PARTY TO AVOID ANY EMBARRASSMENT THE TWO INSTITUTIONS MUST ALWAYS ENSURE TO REMOVE ANY LACUNA IN AN ELECTION. THE LOOSING PARTIES MAY OPPOSE IT AS IT AGAINST THEIR INTEREST BUT EC AND GOVERNING PARTY SHOULD NEVER RELENT.
