"I am unaware of EC's district offices law"

Founder of Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Akua Donkor has indicated that she is unaware of Electoral Commission's nationwide district offices law.

 

The founder and leader of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) is wondering what has changed the stance of the EC in relation to the visibility of the various parties across the country, when she was made to understand from the onset that the key aspect of the law to guarantee her certification was for her to get representatives across-board.

For her, the representatives she has managed to get on-board are operating effectively, and hence this must fulfill the regulation the EC is talking about.

“I’m not aware of any law; they shouldn’t be telling me this now. What I know is that the EC told me to go round the country and get representatives countrywide who’ll in turn set up the party and operate it with executives in those areas.  The fact that I have not furnished those offices doesn’t mean I’m not operating. I have reps in most parts of the country just as Kwadwo Afari Gyan asked me to do . I’ve toured the whole country including Tumu, Nkwanta North and Afram Plains to get officers  who are now representing the GFP everywhere,” Akua Donkor indicated.

The Electoral Commission has warned it will withdraw certificates of political parties without district offices by the end of May.
