Politics of Thursday, 9 January 2020Source: XYZ2020 election results will be rejected if EC rejects stakeholder contributions - Kwesi PrattManaging Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt JnrThe Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has said he will lead Ghanaians to reject the 2020 general election results should the Electoral Commission (EC) ignore the contribution of stakeholders and conduct the polls the way it wants. He said the EC’s justification for the new register did not make sense, saying the EC cannot ignore the inputs of political parties and go ahead to do what it wants under the guise of its autonomy. Asking Ghanaians to rise against the EC’s way of handling the matter, Mr Pratt noted that the country cannot continue to accept election results replete with irregularities stemmed from the negligence or arrogance of the EC’s topmost bosses. He then warned the Jean Mensah-led EC to work in the interest of all the political parties and not the Akufo-Addo administration. The Coalition of CSOs for Good Governance has, therefore, announced a demonstration to protest the compilation of a new voters' register in the Northern regional capital, Tamale on Saturday.
