Former spokesperson for the late Jerry John Rawlings and parliamentary aspirant on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Kofi Adams has lambasted the Electoral Commission by describing the commission as incompetent after the late declaration that the parliamentary election that was to be held in the Buem constituency has been ruled out.
According to Kofi Adams, it only takes an incompetent Electoral Commission to make such a late announcement a day before elections.
“The last hour decision by the EC to halt parliamentary elections in my constituency shows her gross incompetence”, Mr. Adams asserted in an interview on Onua TV.
The Guan District was carved out of the Buem Constituency and its Constituency is yet-to-be carved out of Buem hence the decision to leave them out of the Parliamentary election.
“However as a result of the creation of the Guan District Local Government Instrument 2020 and pending the creation of the Guan Constituency, eligible voters in the Guan District will vote only in the Presidential election but not in the Parliamentary election in the Buem Constituency,” a statement from the Election Management body said.
The people of the Guan Constituency in the Oti Region will only vote in the Presidential election.
