The Electoral Commission (EC) has stated clearly that flawed elections are not possible in the upcoming elections in December.
Dr Eric Bossman Asare, who is the deputy Commissioner of EC in charge of Corporate Services, said because the electoral system the EC is following is firmly grounded in law, a flawed election is impossible.
Below are his words “You can never have a flawed election the way our system operates. When you look at the current C.I. [Constitutional Instrument] we are operating with, it talks about a Regional Collation Officer who will be in charge of the results. The EC Commissioner is the Returning Officer for only the Presidential election.
“Then when you go to the constituencies, the Returning Officers there are in charge. So, the Chairperson, being the Returning Officer for the Presidential election, before the Chairperson will have access to the results all the constituencies, the regions have seen it,” .
he continued by sayin that “When people talk about flawed elections, I think that they are only imagining something,” he said.
He said the C.I. that the EC is mandated to adopt emphasises transparency from the registration process to the voting process.
“So when you look at it, flawed elections cannot be part of us,” he said.
