Nana Ohene Ntow, Senior Policy Advisor to Alan Kyerematen, has cautioned the National Peace Council (NPC) to elaborate on the issues that could cause mayhem in the country.
His comments came up as a result of the concerns of the major opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), regarding the irregularities in the voters’ register.
“The Peace Council, if they truly exist, should stop talking about peace and address the issues coming out from the processes to avoid repetition of what happened in Techiman.
He indicated that the errors detected by the NDC is so huge that the EC alone cannot say they are correcting it.
“It is surprising that over 3,000 names have been affected in one constituency. If Bossman says this is an administrative error, then it is worrying. and if it is an error, then it is very egregious and if it is, the EC alone shouldn’t sit in their rooms to address it.
He added that it is the NDC that even detected the errors in the register, and not the EC. He continued that the consistent quietness of the ruling party regarding the matter raises eyebrows, and that, according to him is what the Peace Council should channel their energy to.
“The errors were not even detected by them but rather one of the two main political parties who is not in government. So the political implications are that, if care is not taken, since the party in power has been silent so far, it makes people wonder what is going on whether the party in power is quiet because they think it is in their favour or something else,” he added.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) detected some voter transfers in the register and raised concerns about them cautioning the Electoral Commission (EC) to address such errors as soon as possible.
