Deputy
General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress, Kofi
Adams has implored the opposition New Patriotic Party to accede to the
Electoral Commission (EC’s) request, by proposing the necessary reforms
that can help improve the country’s electoral system.
Kofi Adams,
in an interview with Radio Gold, warned the party not to continue their
agenda of painting the Commission black in the sight of Ghanaians in
order to ruin its integrity.
According to him, if the party
members have got any suggestions to make in order to assist the
Commission to draw out effective electoral reforms, they should voice it
out.
The NPP should tell the nation “what kind of reforms
workable that they have suggested in the past to the Electoral
Commission for which the Electoral Commission has not implemented, then
we can now make a serious debate out of that…They have not given us any
such example in the first place,” he said, also disclosing that the
party “is just continuing the agenda that they sought to pursue at the
petition hearing where it was more let’s discredit this institution;
let’s say they did not run a transparent election…So, if the court has
seen the wisdom and thrown out our case, let’s continue that agenda
outside of the court and make it look like even whatever the Electoral
Commission is doing, it is not genuine.”
To him, the NPP will be
the ‘biggest losers’ in their attempt to run the Commission down because
“if you create credibility doubt for an institution that is
independent; that it’s supposed to be organizing elections in this
country, then you want to introduce chaotic situation in this country.
And I think that the NPP should stop such an agenda. It’s not going to
help the country. It’s not going to help them as a political party.”
