Serebour Quaicoe Archives

Dr Serebour Quaicoe, Director of Electoral Services for the Electoral Commission (EC) has said, the law does not make it mandatory for the Electoral Commission to Supervise the Parliamentary and Presidential primaries. According to him, Is not good to go ahead to supervise election when people are contesting the register, because the foundation of any good election is the register. “So, before the court injection they have written to us and we have invited to meet. But before we could meet the injunction came”. He said Asking whether is Mandatory for the EC to supervise the primaries? The EC Director says, “This one, the law is not mandatory for us to supervise the primaries but the executive ones are mandatory. Meanwhile, Abraham Amaliba leader of the NDC legal team said, they are very aware that is not mandatory for the EC to supervise the upcoming primaries. According to Mr. Amaliba, they only decides to engage the Electoral Commission for transparency sake. It is not clear what the party decision we be. The injunction will be heard on Friday. Dr. Duffour filed an injunction application at the Accra High Court seeking to stop the elections over concerns about the electoral album. Among the reliefs he is seeking are declaration that the photo album register issued by the party is incomplete and inaccurate and that the party be ordered to prepare and deliver a complete and accurate photo album register to all the presidential aspirants at least five weeks ahead of the elections to enable the aspirants carry out the needed verification of the photo album register. However, Mr. Kojo Bonsu who also expressed dissatisfaction shared the same sentiments as Dr. Duffuor.

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 Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana/Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
