NPP mulls boycotting IPAC meetings
Acting General Secretary of party, John Boadu told Accra based Oman FM that the EC’s position on the Supreme Court ruling and subsequent actions of the Chair of the Commission, Charlotte Osei, makes IPAC less useful.
IPAC was established to create a channel of dialogue between the EC and political parties.
Acting General Secretary of party, John Boadu told Accra based Oman FM that the EC’s position on the Supreme Court ruling and subsequent actions of the Chair of the Commission, Charlotte Osei makes IPAC less useful.
“I will hold discussion with [my] party about boycotting IPAC meetings,” he told host of the programme, Fiifi Boafo. “They said they are an independent body, so what do they need our input for?”

Boadu was reacting to a statement by the EC in which it said people who registered with National Health Insurance cards cannot be removed from the electoral roll based on current laws governing elections in Ghana.
According to him, IPAC is made up moribund political parties, who are only revived to come and sing the praises of the EC and criticize the NPP.
He cited one party called Democratic Freedom Party to back his case. He noted that the party’s representative at IPAC was questioned by the EC boss if it was a registered party in Ghana, yet the person was allow to speak at the meeting.
Baodu also accused the EC of articulating the point of view of governing National Democratic Congress. He alleged that every view expressed by the EC is backed by the NDC.
