Inusah Fuseini, the former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, on Joy FM's Newsfile on Saturday, 28 December 2024, opined that the Electoral Commission has caused constitutional crisis.
In his submission, he said that the EC’s decision to gazette the results of 274 constituencies when there was a pending case before the Supreme Court is suggestive of the fact that the Commission has caused a crisis constitutionally.
This position being espoused can only come from a mind that is dishonest. Honesty is an enemy to this former Lands and Natural Resources Minister, hence this position.
It is the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that has caused this constitutional crisis, not the Electoral Commission.
If the NDC had not urged its members to invade collation centres with the sole objective of disrupting collating processes, would we be talking about a constitutional crisis?
Immediately after polls closed, NDC thugs were called to storm the various collation centres to vandalize and cause chaos in the centres.
These thugs did not only beat up people but also forced EC officials to declare NDC candidates winners in elections they didn’t win.
In some cases, these goons destroyed pink sheets which would serve as evidence of the true state of affairs as far as voting was concerned.
When these happened, the EC was compelled to continue the processes of collation to enable them determine who actually won those seats.
In effect, but for the NDC sending their attack dogs out there to cause mayhem, commotion and destruction to the smooth processes of collation, no court issue would have arisen for this so-called crisis to come in the first place.
Inusah Fuseini should be honest and put the blame at the doorstep of his party’s leadership for whatever crisis we find ourselves in with respect to the collation exercises.
