According to him, the Electoral Commission (EC) will have no option than to implement what the government of Ghana says it should do but added that it is up to Ghanaians to either vote 'Yes' or 'No' in the pending referendum on December 17. The nation is expected to hold a referendum on December 17, 2019, for the amendment of Article 55 (3) of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution. According to John Boadu, the ruling NPP General Secretary, in view of the steps being taken by the government, by the date of the referendum, Parliament would have finished amending Article 243(1) to take away the President’s power of appointing MMDCEs. He, therefore, emphatically stated that “as long as I have life, I will vote a big No; in fact, if I am giving two ballot papers, I will still vote No in the referendum”.
