The Deputy General Secretary of the rulling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has strongly criticized the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana for what he describes as an attempt to circumvent electoral laws in the re-collation of results in the Ablekuma North constituency.
Gbande said the commission was acting outside its legal bounds and accused it of trying to “invent a new law.” According to him, the EC cannot arbitrarily amend existing electoral laws—specifically Constitutional Instrument (CI) 127—under the guise of re-collating results.
