"I hear by end by saying AFARI GYAN was far
better, we all miss AFARI GYAN and we shall fight this inaction of the EC with
the might available to us and we shall win the battle in the name of our high
God and Allah" says the People's National Convention (PNC).This was
contained in a statement issued by the party after they were disqualified from
contesting the 2016 elections.
The flagbearer of the PNC, Dr Edward
Mahama was among thirteen presidential aspirants who were disqualified by the EC
on Monday.
In their statement issued on Tuesday, they urged the
Chairperson of the Commission, Charlotte Osei to learn from the former EC Boss,
Kojo Afari Gyan.
Below is the full statement
EC
BOSS MUST LEARN FROM AFARI GYAN:
The conduct of the current EC boss can
most likely destroy the good reputation of the commission following her recent
conduct towards political parties. I must admit commissioner Afari Gyan was far
better as we now have ‘hot heads’ mistaken for firmness.
The Processes of
filling nominations forms in 2016 is not different from the 2012 elections.
However In 2012, All political parties were made to wait for at least 3 hours
after submissions of their nominations forms after which came the electoral
commissioner Afari Gyan and his able team to point out the errors in the forms
and the various parties asked to correct the errors for a final submission of
their forms – All these took place at the electoral commission premises in the
2012 elections. The EC had 10 solid days to revert to political parties for
possible remedy of errors whilst their case was pending at the high court but
they failed to do so due to their self-intended motives.
What is so
different with the current EC of 2016 from that of 2012?
Is the EC Boss
in any competition to showcase her supposed firmness?
Does the EC Boss
know the implications of her actions?
I hear by end by saying AFARI GYAN
was far better, we all miss AFARI GYAN and we shall fight this inaction of the
EC with the might available to us and we shall win the battle in the name of our
high God and Allah.
Akane Adams,
PNC National
Treasurer.
