General Secretary of All People’s Congress (APC), Mordecai Thiombiano Lompo has questioned the credibility and legitimacy of the President of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to the APC, if the Electoral Commission says the current voters’ register is not credible then the president is also not credible.
In an interview with Happy98.9FM’s Happy Morning Show host, Samuel Eshun, the General Secretary of All People’s Congress (APC), Mordecai Thiombiano Lompo disclosed that at the meeting between the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) and Eminent Committee yesterday, “ We asked the EC to inform us if the voters’ register was credible or not, but the EC couldn’t answer because they are aware that once upon a time they told us that this current register was credible. So if you are going in for a new voter’s register does it mean that what you said about the register a while back was not true?”
He believes if the EC had answered that question it would have automatically put the legitimacy of president, Akufo-Addo in question. But their silence on that question speaks volumes.
The Eminent Advisory Committee called the meeting following rising tension between opposition NDC-led Inter-party Resistance
Against the New Voter’s Register on one hand and the EC on the other hand, following the latter’s decision to compile a new voters’ register for the 2020 elections.
This followed the series of protests held in Tamale and Kumasi in the Northern and Ashanti Regions, by the opposition parties and some CSOs against a fresh electoral roll.
The group after the protest march in Kumasi announced a suspension of their actions over what it said was in respect of the Eminent Advisory Committee, and a show of immense regard to His Eminence Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Ashantihene, who has requested for calm as they mediate the impasse”.
The coalition has, however, accused the EC of bad faith after Director of Elections at the EC, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe announced a date for the commencement of registration for the new register.
