Alex Segbefia charges EC to stop being confrontational
According to the Head of the International Relations Desk, the EC should not take an entrenched position on the proposal, but rather consider it. He stated, “As for me, my first issue is that they (EC) should consider our recommendations seriously regardless of whether the NDC is at the table or not. If the recommendations are good for Ghana, they should implement them and stop being confrontational, after all, NDC isn’t the only party at IPAC. We have so many parties at IPAC, so the EC should have tabled our proposals so we all look at it collectively. In presenting the proposals to the EC, the Jean Mensa-led Commission then directed the party to table its proposed electoral reforms before the Interparty Advisory Committee (IPAC) for dialogue.
