Dan Lartey Furious With the E.C

The leader of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), Mr. Dan Lartey has expressed his utmost disgust at what he terms as a poor executed job by the Electoral Commission (EC).

Speaking to Peace FM News on Wednesday May 5, Mr. Dan Lartey stated that there are questions to be answered by the EC?s mis-arrangement of the country?s national colours on the new voter?s registration ID card.

It would be recalled that Peace FM News carried a story about the mis-arrangement of the national colours on the new voter ID card.

In an interview, the EC admitted the mistake, but revealed that since 3million copies had already been printed, the cost involved in rectifying the situation was quite huge. This, the GCPP leader said, has legal implications for the country?s electoral process.
