NDC PRIMARIES : DR. KWABENA DUFOUR FILES INJUNCTION AGAINST ELECTIONS

The campaign team of flagbearer aspirant of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Dr Kwabena Duffuor, is demanding postponement of the May 13 Presidential Primaries over what it describes as a flawed register.

A petition sent to the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) and Elections Committee of NDC on Monday, May 8, under the signature Kofi Kukubor, the Head of Research and Strategy with the campaign team of Dr. Duffuor, stated that extensive review of the voters’ register or photo album for 220 constituencies have identified several discrepancies that render the register incomplete or inaccurate.

The campaign team said going into the election with such a register undermines the credibility and integrity of the election and capable of causing irreparable damage to the flagbearer hopeful Dr. Kwabena Duffuor. Therefore, the team is demanding the following:

1. Postponement of the May 13th Presidential Primaries

2. Stakeholders’ meeting to establish an agreeable roadmap that will guarantee the integrity of the voters’ register.

4. To save the image of the NDC so that the party can have a credible voice so that the party can speak on national election matters when the need arises.

Dr. Duffuor had earlier said that the May 13 Presidential Primaries must be free, fair and transparent to ensure unity after the elections.

Meanwhile, the Deputy General Secretary of the party, Mustapha Gbande, in a response, said the party will not postpone its primaries on Saturday despite calls from Dr. Kwabena Duffuor to do so.
