Minister for Regional Reorganization and Development and NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Okere constituency, Dan Botwe, says Ghanaians cannot continue to entertain the 'arrogance" of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its inter-party coalition, as far as the compilation of a new voters' register is concerned.
According to him, their blatant disregard for other people's opinions on the compilation of the voters' register is "sickening" and should not be tolerated.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' program, he expressed worry about the violent posture of the main opposition NDC, adding that they "will not tolerate that posture put up by them".
"When I was General Secretary of the NPP, the then Commissioners of the Electoral Commission told us that IPAC is only an advisory body . . . " he said.
Therefore, he said, the NDC and its allies should not think they are all-knowing and cannot hold Ghana to ransom with their parochial interest.
He reiterated that the Electoral Commission is an independent body and should be allowed to do its work.
"As a political party, we have our stance when it comes to the compilation of the voters' register and we support EC's decision to compile a new one...The NDC should give us a break and leam to respect the decision of others when it comes to issues of national discourse," he added.
The Inter-Party Resistance Against New Voters’ Register had earlier suspended protests against the EC’s decision, having organized two successful demonstrations– one in Tamale and another in Kumasi.

YOU SUPPORTED THE MEN TO INSULT THE WOMAN JUST FOR THIS POSITION AND YOU EXPECT SOMETHING DIFFERENT?.. GOD IS WATCHING YOU.
All of you here, ask yourself if you would say what you've just put out there if you were in the other camp? That's sincerity and objectivity.
NPP should knows that they cannot stay power beyond 8 years, so they should continue to do anything they like with much stealing and corruptions
Honorable Dan Botwe aka Mugabe, your time as MP for Okere is over. Law Adjei-Lartey is beating you hands down in this Primaries elections. Change is coming to Okere!!
There are three major problems confronting this nation at the moment. Poverty, Ignorance and NDC. Poverty as a result of corruption, poor planning and implementation, inadequate infrastructure and poor sanitation. Ignorance stemming from low percentage educated people, indiscipline, academic dishonesty on the part of the educated, poor information flow and misinformation. The attitude of the NDC in national discourse is rather dangerous-superiority complex, vile propaganda, insults, threats and the propensity to create, loot and share. How can we overcome?
NDC is being pampered too much. EC don't be soft on this otherwise you can never perform your administrative functions, period. Once you pander to violent NDC on this issue, EC is finished. Note that NDC was even against Ghana Card.
. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was right: “Nothing in this world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupiditty.”
. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was right: “Nothing in this world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious ***barred word***.” NDC thinks they doing Ghana good, but posterity will judge them.
