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.

So you know the court and was wasting our ears, time and money on fruitless demo? Go and meet your greatest disgrace. Atukuba who would have helped you with his 4 minutes scanty judgement is no more in charge so save your money for better things. Let me ask oooo, why should me compilation of new register make you concede defeat already? This means you have some skeleton in the cupboard in relation to the current register
Go to court ooooo because any ***barred word*** can go to court according to their own scribe Asiedu Nketia.
Ooh but any Us3less party with incompetentt and corrupttt leader can go to court
they cant go to any court because the courts are even looking for them especially GO1. he dare not go near any court now
No 2 ways about that, NDC's grievances lack sound reasoning and logic.
Lost and confused, their only hope to stay in the game is to create some small distractions here and there. GO1 is broke already. The B-OO-TY from the fa. ke contracts are not flowing as expected. He cannot use those accounts connected with the AB saga as well. Party in real crises. Desperate times require desperate measure. NPP has to be more proactive and play them at their level.
No Court in Ghana can stop the EC from performing its constitutional mandate of compiling electoral register. Then the court can stop the President of the Republic from travelling because of cost to the nation. Will the upgrading of the electoral system be without cost? Yes NDC can fuuul some of Ghanaians especially their members all the time. Kwadwo Bonsu organized their Peace Walk and got money that was why Elvis Afriyie Ankrah decided to follow his path
The EC must not let its guard down since its system(s) can be hacked at any given time.From the purchase of the new equipment, delivery, through the registration process and voting to the collation of results and final announcement nothing should be given to chance. If Russia could be suspected to have interfered in US election of 2016 that means our EC could also be targeted. Please ave us the mantra that your system has been "hacked".
Long over due
Why waiting your time and energy and millions of Ghana cedis organizing demo and the rest. What changed your mind again.
