A pressure group, Truth and Accountability Forum has petitioned the National Peace Council over the Electoral Commission’s refusal to compile a new voters’ register for this year’s general elections.
According to the group, the belligerent posture of the Electoral Commission’s Chairperson in the face of wise counsel, does not portent well for the stability of this country.
In a statement by the group it said “Truth and Accountability Forum (TAF) would want to bring to the notice of your esteem National Peace Council and the International Community the need to call the E.C. and Madam Charlotte Osei to order to avert potential conflagration that is lurking in the bend.
“Our nascent democracy is at a cross road and without sounding like a prophet of doom we can sense the future is not promising due mainly to her belligerent posture in the face of wise counsel, naivety and partisanship is ringing all over her and that does not portent well for the stability of this country.
“The statement says there is no argument about the fact that foreigners have infiltrated into the register consciously by unknown forces, a percentage of 56.2% of the registered voters to the national population is untenable, the outlaw of the usage of NHIS card as an identification proof of registration by the Supreme Court has added to the dent of the credibility of the register.
“Instead of the electoral commission coming to terms with these fact they are busily hallucinating about some bizarre, distorted and nebulous solutions which to all intent and purposes would only be scratching the surface of the problem and can therefore not guarantee the credibility of the 2016 election”.
