NDC questions legality of EC’s recruitment of Constituency Collation Officers

Director of IT and Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Edward Omane Boamah, has questioned the legality of recruiting Constituency Collation Officers.

To him, if the Electoral Commission claims the provision of statistics is not mandated by law, then the recruitment of Constituency Collation Officers is not backed by law.

He indicated that the law mandates constituency returning officers to collate results! Not Constituency Collation Officers.

This has been objected to by political parties, and they could not fathom why the EC will go contrary to what they agreed on at IPAC.

His post shared via social media read “Electoral Commission: Recruiting Constituency Collation Officers Is Also Illegal

Folks, you know this Electoral Commission is crooked and criminally minded when they tell you providing voter register statistics is not mandated by Law, C.I.127.

And it’s taking the Commission more than three (3) days to generate the voter statistics from a register they’ve already released to the public/parties.

Yet they’re out there recruiting Constituency Collation Officers.

I put it to Jean Mensah and the Electoral Commission Ghana that Constituency Collation Officers are also not stipulated by Law.

The Commission must recall we NDC strongly raised this objection at IPAC.

The law mandates Constituency Returning Officers to collate results! Not Constituency Collation Officers.

Meanwhile the Commission should inform the public whether it intends to recruit Regional Collation Officers.

Still keep #EAGLEEYES on the Electoral Commission and the NPP.
