Deputy Chairman in charge of Corporate Services at the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Bossman Asare, has revealed that the Commission has not received a copy of the Sekondi High Court’s ruling, which permits Joana Gyan Cudjoe to contest in the upcoming parliamentary election in Amenfi Central as the NDC Parliamentary Candidate.
In an interview, Dr. Asare emphasized that the EC will only allow the NDC candidate for Amenfi Central to run after receiving the official court documents.
“We are a law-abiding institution and won’t act based on media reports. We need the official copy of the ruling, and once we have it, the Commission will grant her permission to contest,” he noted.
However, Deputy National Elections Director for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Tanko Rashid Computer, in an interview also noted that he personally delivered copies of the ruling to Dr. Asare and Mr. Samuel Tettey of the EC, who acknowledged receipt.
“I’m surprised Dr. Asare is saying this. I handed him and Mr. Tettey copies of the ruling at 4:32 pm, and he confirmed receipt at 5:42 pm,” he revealed in an interview on TV3.
