Former Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Brogya Genfi has threatened to go to the Supreme Court for interpretation if the President decides to suspend the referendum.
According to him President Akufo-Addo has no right or executive power to take any unilateral decision to suspend the referendum which has come under severe public discussion.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program, he explained that the Electoral Commission is supposed to be an independent institution not subject to any authority or direction of any authority in the discharge of its duties under article 46 of the 1992 Republican Constitution of Ghana.
"If there is any plan by the President to cancel or suspend the referendum, I will personally head to the Supreme Court," he reiterated.
The Regional Reorganisation and Development Minister has proposed a total withdrawal of the December 17 referendum over what he said are attacks on President Akufo-Addo’s person.
Dan Kwaku Botwe is convinced some persons are unjustifiably hurling invectives at the President over government-backed ‘YES’ campaign for an upcoming referendum.
The December 17 referendum seeks to amend the law to enable Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) and unit committee members to be elected along political party lines.
Article 55 (3) of the 1992 Constitution, which is an entrenched provision, states that “Subject to the provisions of this Article, a political party is free to participate in shaping the political will of the people, to disseminate information on political ideas, social and economic programs of a national character; and sponsor candidates for election to any public office other than the district assemblies or lower local government units”.

Genfi, 'Any !diot can go to court' as was quoted by Asiedu Nketsia. Your dibolical mission has failed.
THE REFERENDUM HAS REVEALED NDC AS A DANGEROUSSS PARTY. NDC CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THEIR MIND FROM YES VOTE TO NO VOTE AS THEY CONSULTED THEIR ELDERS. THE QUESTION THEN IS: 1.DID NDC HAVE ANY FUNDAMENTAL POLICY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND DISTRICT LEVEL ELECTIONS. 2. ON WHAT BASIS DID NDC MPs AT PARLIAMENT AND OTHER OFFICIALS AT SEVERAL FORUMS SPOKE TO SUPPORT THE YES VOTE. DID THEY DO THAT OUT OF VACUUM OR ON THE BASIS OF ANY POLITICAL POLICY. 3. ON WHAT GROUNDS DID THE ELDERS OF NDC CHANGE THE PARTY SUPPORT FROM THE YES VOTE TO THE NO VOTE. WAS THE DECISION BASED ON POLICY OR JUST FOR POLITICAL DISINGENUOUSSSS. 4. DOES NDC HAVE ONE SET OF POLICIES FOR THEIR MPs AND ANOTHER SET FOR THEIR ELDERS. VERY INCOHERENT AND UNRELIABLE. 5.DID NDC ACTED MISCHIEVOUSLYYY BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING CONCRETE TO OFFER FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SO DECIDED TO SABOTAGEEEE NPP. 5. THE FACT OF NDC AS MISCHIEVOUSSS, DISHONESTTT, DECEPTIVEEE, BETRAYALLL AND UNTRUTHFULLL UNFOLDS VIVIDLY: 6. THEY STARTED WITH THE "YES VOTE" AT THE PARLIAMENT, SHIFTED TO THE "NO VOTE" BY THEIR ELDERS, PRETENTIOUSLYYY ASKED FOR WITHDRAWAL OF THE REFERENDUM BY ASIEDU NKETIA TO DAN BOTWE AND SHAMEFULYYYY THREATENING TO GO TO COURT SHOULD THE REFERENDUM BE SUSPENDED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DIABOLICCC. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE A SEEN ANYTHING DISHONESTTTT LIKE THIS ATTITUDE OF NDC. THEY MIGHT THINK THAT THEY ARE SMART TO SABOTAGEEE THE NPP GOVERNMENT BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE WASTING THE ENERGY AND THE RESOURCES OF ALL GHANAIANS TO HOLD BACK THE GROWTH AND PROGRESS OF THE NATION. MANY GHANAIANS MIGHT NOT BE SO SMARTT TO NOTICE THE EVILLLL OF THE SABOTAGEEE BUT NDC CANNOT ESCAPE THE WRATHH OF GOD WHO IS ALL KNOWING AND JUST.
This is NDC for you. A bunch of ignoramuses, whether they have gone to school or not. Just check these; National Health Insurance-NO; National ID Card-NO; Free SHS-NO; NABCO-NO; Planting for Food and Jobs-NO; 1D1F-NO; I constituency 1m-NO; New Regions-NO; Referendum-NO; Suspend/Cancel Referendum-NO; you can continue to add more. It seems the only English word they understand and find it easy to pronounce is NO. Ghanaians, please I am pleading with you to discard this group and send them to the doldrums. They lack ideas and commitment for national development. Don't say I did not tell you.
Barking dug, Brogya Gyamfi
Any ***barred word*** can go to court as once said by Ur general secretary. Hurry up ***barred word***
Most NDC people do not have SSNIT cards. They never pay tax.
Blow Fire, Blow Fire, Blow Fire how many times have I ....... mmmmmhhhhhh

You can go to h3ll, or better still hug the transformer, to quote what your general secretary once said, any 1diot can go to court. You don’t need to say , just go and pay some of your I’ll gotten money as filling fee, we need more money for free shs.
This guy will do everything to defend NDC because he has got something from NDC.He has never worked in his life and through politics he has two mansions in Kumasi. Whenever you journalist meet him for interview ask him if he has ever got a SSNIT card and number, the answer is certainly no. They are in politics because of their stomach.
