The former’s Director of Elections of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed some level of satisfaction praises on the recent attitude from the Director of Electoral Services.
Elvis Afriyie Ankrah who was speaking during a discussion on The Keypoints on TV3/3FM monitored by Apexnewsgh.com said he has been impressed by the recent attitude of Dr Serebour Quaicoe.
In 2020, the NDC boycotted a two-day workshop on elections and shot down all the reforms agreed by parties at the workshop.
Meanwhile, four key reforms were agreed to by the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).
But the NDC demanded that a reform of the attitude of the Electoral Commission itself should crank up any reforms to be proposed.
“First of all, we want a reform of their attitude. That’s number one,” the former Youth and Sports Minister told host Adwoa Tabi.
“We want Bossman Asare to withdraw that prejudicial statement which is on record,” he added, referring to a pronouncement by the Deputy Chair of the EC in charge of Corporate Services that the NDC was an “existential threat” to Ghana’s democracy.
“And for once, let me admit that his tone and tenor and manner were very different from what I have been seeing.
“He said oh the proposals they put forward are subject to discussion and inputs and therefore if the NDC has any other proposals, they are ready and willing to listen and engage. That is the kind of attitude that we want from an Electoral Commission that is paid by taxpayers, that is to serve the interest of political parties.” He told the host of the program monitored by Apexnewsgh.com
