A member of the panel of Supreme Court Judges who ruled on the Voter register suit has stressed that the apex court was clear on its order for the Electoral Commission to delete from the electoral roll persons who used the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) cards as a form of identification for their registration.

The EC had said it cannot delete names of those who registered with NHIS cards based on its own understanding of the ruling.

But Justice Dotse speaking to journalists said any individual who is finding it difficult to understand the ruling should come back to the court.

“…we [Supreme Court] said the use of the NHIS cards is therefore unconstitutional and it should take the opportunity to clean the register of those undesirable persons.”

“We also do not want to disenfranchise anybody so the Supreme Court went on to say that anybody who will be affected by that exercise should be given the opportunity to register according to the law and the constitution, period.”

Meanwhile, the former PNC youth Organizer, Abu Ramadan has said his lawyers have began processes to file a contempt suit against the Electoral Commission following its stance on the Supreme Court ruling on the voters' register.

He believed the EC's stance on the ruling will not augur well for a smooth and peaceful elections.
