General News of Tuesday, 29 December 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comSantrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, Lolobi must vote before inauguration of 8th Parliament – Kwaku AzarProf Kwaku Asare is a legal practitioner and an Accounting ProfessorOutspoken lawyer, Professor Kwaku Asare, known popularly as Kwaku Azar, has said the Electoral Commission (EC) breached the 1992 Constitution when it prevented eligible voters in Satrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe and Lolobi (SALL) from voting in the parliamentary elections on December 7, 2020. Let #SALL vote before the opening of Parliament, as I suggested on December 6,” he wrote on Facebook. Eligible voters in SALL were prevented from voting in the December 7 parliamentary elections. This came about because when the government began a process to carve Oti Region out of the Volta Region, the people of SALL protested that they wanted to remain in Hohoe, which is in the Volta Region. After the creation of Oti Region, SALL was included to the region, although Hohoe, their mother district and the constituency they wish to be identified with, remained in the Volta Region.
