New Patriotic Party [NPP] Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, has asked members of the opposition NDC and other smaller opposition political parties against the Electoral Commission's [EC] new register compilation to leave the country if they feel too hot.
According to him the government of President Akufo-Addo will not sit aloof and watch the EC's constitutional mandate to perform its core duty submerged by the opposition parties.
"Who are we to complain about the decision of the EC when the laws of the country are being exercised?” he asked.
He says the NPP has no duty to defend the EC as the NDC claims, but the party will not back any citizen or group who do not recognize the powers the constitution give the Commission.
He has therefore asked any person or group of people who can't stand the EC's decision, to pack their personal stuff and cross the border to any neigboring country they will feel better.
“ . . if you are a political party who has refused to abide by the laws of the constitution, you can cross the borders of the land to stay in a different country of your choice,” he said on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ show.

THERE WERE SOME FRAUD IN 2012 ELECTIONS. IT WAS CAUSED BY THE THE COMBINATION OF THE BLOATED REGISTER AND FAULTY VERIFICATION SYSTEM. THE ELECTIONS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HELD FOR ONE DAY IN 10 HOURS. IT WAS HELD OVER 10 HOURS IN TWO DAYS IN MANY PLACES IN THE VOLTA AND THE NORTHERN REGIONS. THIS HAPPENED IN THE CLAIM OF FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE MACHINES. THE BIOMETRIC VERIFICATOPN WAS IGNORED FOR MANUAL VERIFICATION. IN MANY PLACES NOBODY WAS ALLOWED TO CHALLENGE IN THE MANUAL VERIFICATION. AN ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE IMPERSONATION IN SOME PLACES LED TO THE ATTACKS AND BEATINGS OF THE CHALLENGERS. SOME HAD TO RUN FOR THEIR LIVES. BROTHER OF BBC JOURNALIST ELIZABETH OHENE, DR OHENE, A WELL KNOWN PSYCHIATRIST AND A NATIVE OF VOLTA REGION SUFFERED A SEVERE BEATINGS BY NDC WHICHT LED TO THE INJURY OF HIS EYE. JUST BECAUSE HE ATTEMPTED TO BRING SANITY IN THE VOTING IN HIS OWN PLACE IN THE REGION. THE CHALLENGE OF 2012 ELECTIONS AT THE SUPREME COURT INTRODUCED SOME MEASURES WHICH REDUCED THE FRAUD. IT TOOK NDC BY SURPRISE AND THE PARTY LOST THAT ELECTIONS. THE LOST OF 2016 ELECTIONS BY NDC DOES NOT STILL MAKE THE REGISTER AND THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM ALL CREDIBLE. LIKE ARMED ROBERS WHO ALWAYS LOOK FOR LACUNA IN SECURITY MEASURES TO OUTWIT THE POLICE, NDC STILL HOPE TO RELY ON THE LOOPHOLES IN THE CURRENT ELECTORAL SYSTEM TO TRY ANOTHER CHANCE OF DUBIOUS DEEDS. THOUGH IT MAY STILL NOT WORK FOR THEM, THE EC MUST NOT STILL LEAVE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED. EC MUST TO KEEP THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM SACROSANCT. THIS IS THE BASIS FOR THE UNREASONABLE FEAR OF NDC, HENCE THEIR PERSISTENT PROTEST AGAINST THE NEW REGISTER. THEY FEAR CLEAN REGISTER AND MORE ACCURATE VERIFICATION. ANY SMART PERSON CAN READ BETWEEN THEIR ACTIONS TO DETERMINE THEIR DIABOLICCC INTENTIONS. NO RIGHT MINDED PERSON WILL EVER GIVE IN TO THEIR EVILLL AGENDA.
See his face like an ***barred word***! You are the one who needs to leave because you have never said anything sensible in your entire life!
