Assin North By-election: EC Has Allowed Their 'Palpable Bias To Cloud Their Judgement' - NDC 'Fires' C'ssion On Statement
The largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says the Electoral Commission’s response to the statement of their National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi on an alleged illegal plot to smuggle the name of an NPP parliamentary aspirant into the Assin North voters’ register reeks of bias and has clouded their judgement and interpretation of CI 127 as contained in the EC’s document.
According to the NDC, the EC’s defence of the eligibility of one Charles Opoku to contest in the upcoming Assin North by-election shows the "inability and/or refusal of the Jean Mensa-led EC to correctly interpret this simple criteria set by themselves, shows how depraved our once-revered Electoral Commission has become, and the extreme lengths they are prepared to go, to manipulate the electoral process for the ruling NPP."
Again, the attempt by the Electoral Commission to equalize and rationalize their illegal conduct by citing similar instances in previous elections is hogwash to say the least.
"It is trite that estoppel cannot negate illegality. A multitude of illegalities cannot constitute legality. The fact that the EC failed and/or neglected to do the right thing in times past does not mean they should be allowed to perpetuate such wrongs," the statement said.
