He said that SALL was assigned to Buem constituency under Constitutional Instrument (CI 128), which drew the constituency map for the 2020 elections. The directive, Kwaku Azar said, “was unconstitutional because only another CI, not a directive, can undo an existing CI”. “Every day that the EC does nothing is another day that SALL voters are denied what the Constitution guarantees them. Of course, the Constitution provides that when a new constituency is created, it shall come into effect upon the next dissolution of Parliament. “The EC must be compelled to create the promised Guan constituency and to organize a special election within 30 days!” Kwaku Azar stressed.
