Konadu's Disqualification...Thaddeus Sory Fires Back On EC's Behalf!
"Having taken that decision as required by regulation 9(4) of C.I. 94 which spells out the procedure for dealing with the matter, our client finds no legal basis to rescind its decision especially that the statutory provisions upon which your letter is grounded do not allow our client such discretion" says the Electoral Commission of Ghana.
This comment follows the National Democratic Party (NDP) decision to pursue legal action if the EC refuses to rescind its decision.
The flagbearer of the NDP, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings was one of thirteen Presidential aspirants who were disqualified from contesting the 2016 elections.
Lawyers for the former First Lady say they are not in support of the EC's reason for their client's disqualification; hence the legal action against the Commission.
However a letter sighted by PEACEFMONLINE.COM from Thaddeus Sory of Sory@Law, lawyers for the EC, says "we do not doubt your client's resolve to pursue their cause to the ends afforded them by law but we trust that your clients will, as dutiful citizens of the Republic of Ghana, support our client's constitutional mandate and effort to deliver free, fair and credible elections. The smooth sailing process of our democratic evolution should be our mutual concern as well as primary and collective responsibility".
