NPP has confidence in the EC- Ohene Ntow
Accra, March 03, Ghanadot/GNA - Nana
Ohene Ntow, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
on Monday affirmed the party's confidence in the Electoral
Commission (EC) to ensure a successful general election in
December 2008.
"The NPP believes in the credibility of the EC and the
electoral process regardless of comments about bloated
register which people have not taken pain to cross check",
he said, after a close door meeting with the Chairman of the
Electoral Commission, Dr. Kwodwo Afari-Djan.
He said, the party had not received any official complaint
about any bloated register from any group or political party
and expressed worry about
the manner in which the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
was spreading rumours about a purported bloated register in
some parts of the Ashanti Region.
Nana Ntow said issues concerning the voters' register need
not to be belittled since it could jeopardize the peace and
stability the country was enjoying.
"Issues like these must be discussed in a responsible manner
that will not jeopardize the security and development of the
country", Nana Ntow added.
He said the attention of the Inter Party Advisory Committee
had been drawn to the matter and would soon meet to
deliberate on the matter.
He said, “as a nation, we should develop trust and
confidence in our electoral process” and asked the media not
to be swayed into other people's interest.
