The protest led by executives of the Interparty Resistance Against the Compilation of a New Voters’ Register was themed ‘Yenpini’, to wit, we won’t agree, has been condemned by Co-Chairperson of the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO). He noted that the mandate of the Electoral Commission as an independent election body needs to be recognised by all parties involved in the consultations. “…when they say, ‘Yenpini’ or we will not agree, that expression itself lends itself for perpetual contestations. What it means is that, you start on the note that you don’t accept the mandate of the EC. Former president and flagbearer of the NDC has also been accused by the NPP of financing the protests; claims the NDC Communications officer described as laughable without denying it.
