The Ashanti Regional Deputy Organiser of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) Daniel Agyemin Boateng, has lashed out at the Chairman
of the National Peace Council Prof. Rev Emmanuel Asante for turning a deaf ear
on the errors committed by the Electoral Commission (EC) on printed ballot
papers. He wondered what has led to the indifferent attitude exhibited
by the Chairman of Peace Council on the issue adding that God will judge
everyone according to his/her deeds.
According to him, for peace’s sake,
Prof Asante should be mediating between NPP and EC over the errors on the ballot
designs.
‘The Chairman of Peace Council Prof. Emmanuel Asante is deaf and
dumb now, why is he tight-lipped?, he has not seen or heard what is going on,
whatever we are doing God is watching all of us, those who are lying and
deceiving people should be careful especially men of God,’ he
fumed.
Speaking with host of Abusua Nkommo on Abusua FM Kwame Adinkrah,
he claims the Chairperson of the EC Mrs Charlotte Osei is not up to the task
indicating that she erred in the print-out of the parliamentary ballot papers.
The Ashanti regional office of NPP has been crying foul over what they
described as an error committed by the EC on the ballot paper saying their
initials at the bottom were missing.
He denied that their party members
were present at the printing house.
‘Our initials (NPP) were missing at
the bottom of the logo (elephant) as compared to the other parties, the EC erred
on the statement of pull. Our motto is different from our initials. We cannot go
on deceiving the public, no party member was present at the printing house, they
admitted the mistake when we drew their attention but we are surprised the EC
has turned round to deny.
EC should come out and tell us which one we
agreed on, can the EC tell us the date and time that our initials was not under
the logo. Our emblem/logo is the elephant if the EC rectify the error, we will
be happy, but if it refuses to change it fine,’ he explained.
Mr Boateng
indicated that they are extra vigilant now and will not allow the EC to twist
their arms in favour of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
‘We are
wide awake now, they have been caught pants down, we will not allow anybody to
twist our arms by rigging this year’s elections,’ he stated. |
