The National Elections Directorate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has cancelled some constituency elections who contravened the directive for the postponement of elections in some selected constituencies.
In a statement signed by the Deputy Elections Director of NDC Daniel Amartey Mensah said, the attention of the National Elections Directorate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been drawn to elections purported to have been held in some constituencies in clear violation of the earlier directive of the Directorate for the postponement of elections in those constituencies.
These constituencies are:
1. Atiwa West
2. Mpraeso
3. Afram Plains South
The National Election Directorate wishes to place on record that the said purported elections in those constituencies are illegal and hence, null and void.
The National Elections Directorate further reiterated that, the party does not and will not recognize those elections and their outcomes.
Daniel Amartey Mensah explained that this decision includes other constituencies who have violated other directives of the Elections Directorate in the conduct of their elections, particularly the inclusion of branches that are excluded from partaking in the elections and the exclusion or inclusion of persons who have been either qualified or disqualified from being on the ballot sheet by the appeals process.
The Elections Directorate shall publish a full list of these constituencies in the coming days. In due course, the party shall conduct elections in these constituencies to be supervised by the National Elections Directorate itself.
In the meantime, the party shall investigate the unsanctioned elections in these constituencies and punish all the culprits involved.
The National Elections Directorate urged that, all other constituencies affected by FEC’s earlier directive are to take a cue from this and strictly observe all the directives and guidelines pertaining to the conduct of the ongoing constituency elections.
