The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has decided to finally go to court over the Electoral Commission's decision to compile a new voters' register.
The NDC has been criticizing the EC's decision for a new register insisting that it is expensive.
The opposition party also claims there is nothing wrong with the old register and the time frame is too short for the electoral body to put together a new register.
They have accused the current EC of being 'in bed' with the ruling government and has sworn to resist every plan to compile a new register.
The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and other stakeholders have asked the NDC to seek legal redress if they were not satisfied with the decision.
On Wednesday's edition of Peace FM morning show 'Kokrokoo', with host Kwami Sefa Kayi, Sammy Gyamfi, National Communications Officer for the NDC disclosed that plans are far advanced to take the EC to court.
"Our lawyers are currently considering all the issues especially the violation of the procurement laws of Ghana. I wouldn’t want to preempt anything but from where I sit, it is very likely that we will go to court. However, if we don’t go to court, it doesn’t stop us from still exercising our rights to free speech to critique what the EC is doing," he intimated.

why now? eyimguasifo. don't waste our court officials time wai. if you have nothing to do don't do it at the court you hear?
With these Mahama en co NDC is doomd forever
these an1mals are now thinking and behaving like human beings, ndc is gradually making it self so irrelevant in the scheme of things of Ghanaian politics. the demise of an evil empire.
Mahama has refused to dole monies to them again. These 'small boys' with sharp teeth wanted to amass wealth through demonstrations. The fight is now over They cant go to court.
At least they are beginning to think. I predicted that after 3 demonstrations, they'll be exhausted although they threatened nationwide demos. Desperation has blinded all the NDC including their lawyers. What are they going to court to seek? They are damn confused!
They should run,run mo ma monan nka moto ! Nkwase*afuo ! The only solution for them is to opt out, who is forcing these people to register ? No court in Ghana exercising the powers vetted on them in Ghana will block another institution using the constitution to work and these foo*00ls want the EC to throw out the constitution and rather listen to them who are they? After all majority of them are not Ghanaians so have no love for Ghana ! This register is going to register only and only Ghanaians so what is their problem ? We the Ghanaian people need a new register,PERIOD ! NDC EVIL PEOPLE THAT PARTY WILL ROT IN OPPOSITION with their Gov.official 1 !
This is suicidal for NDC. Their lawyers must rethink. The law favours EC so why go to court? The Law doesn't state EC must compile register based on timing etc.
The EC should watch out ohh They can hack into their system and turn round to say we told you so. I wont take anything beyond these weasels and characters.
Per their own mantra any id1000t can go to court
Shame Shame Shame
