A
leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Member
of Parliament for Assin-Central, Kennedy Agyapong has hit hard at Dr.
Kwadwo Afari Gyan, Chairman of the Electoral Commission, describing him
as a “stupid man.”
Kennedy Agyapong, in an interview with Kwame Nkrumah "Tikese" on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia
morning show, chided Dr. Afari Gyan for the lapses that occured during
the 2012 elections. According to him, but for his crude conduct in the
December polls; the election flaws would have been avoided.
He
explained that due to the EC Chairman’s “mistake and stupidity”, there
have been unremitting controversies about the nature of the 2012
Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Several people have
raised concerns about the December 7 polls with the opposition New
Patriotic Party challenging the results that placed President John
Mahama on the lead.
The NPP claimed the elections were rigged and
accused the Electoral Commission of conniving with the ruling National
Democratic Congress to clinch victory for President Mahama.
The
leadership of the party in the persons of its Presidential candidate,
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Runnig Mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and
National Chairman of the party, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, have petitioned
the Supreme Court to challenge the electoral results.
They are
praying the Supreme Court to arbitrate their election dispute with the
President and the Electoral Commission in hope that their Presidential
candidate, Nana Addo, is legitimized to take over the office of the
President.
But their hopes still hang on tenterhooks as Lawyers
of the respondents in the case have sought to match them boot for boot
in order to prove the legitimacy of President John Mahama.
The
Assin-Central MP who seems dissatisfied with the conduct of the EC told
Okay FM that Dr. Afari Gyan “is stupid and not indispensable in this
country".
The outspoken NPP MP said should he not censure his
speech and “open his mouth, Afari Gyan will have nowhere to reside”,
positing that “Ghanaians tolerated his stupidity.”
To him, the EC
Boss is “satan” and therefore warned that his actions could have dire
consequences on the nation if care is not taken.
“If there should be chaos in this country, it is Afari Gyan,” he stated. |
