NDC calls for reset of Electoral Commission over rerun plan

Hamza Suhuyini Sayibu wants the Electoral Commission bosses gone. The NDC communication team member says Jean Mensa and her two deputies must leave office. He believes the country needs fresh leadership at the election body. The politician thinks current officials get swayed easily and cannot handle fair elections. Suhuyini made his demands clear during a TV3 appearance Monday morning.

The NDC man says his party wants to protect democracy. He claims the Electoral Commission needs a complete restart with new people. Suhuyini admits some critics might think the NDC acts for political gain since they control government. The party official says they complained about the same problems when they were out of power. He points out that even NPP members agree the EC leaders can be influenced.

The politician blasts the commissioners for planning new votes at Ablekuma North. He says their decision to re-run 19 polling stations proves they listen to political pressure. Suhuyini believes such people should not run elections for the whole country. The NDC member thinks the current leaders are either bad at their jobs or willing to take bribes. He wants them removed before they cause more damage to Ghana's democratic process.
