Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) has temporarily been stopped from going ahead with a planned workshop on the controversial new voters’ register set to be compiled for the country’s polls in December this year.
Despite the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in the country and the ban on public gatherings, the Commission last week announced it will hold a planning meeting with all its directors and deputy directors across the country from April 24 to 29 at Prampram.
The planned meeting which has been criticized, the EC explained, seeks to afford its officials prepare and plan for the voters’ registration exercise which has already been suspended indefinitely due to the pandemic.
But the MP for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George, who is against the move by the EC filed an ex-parte motion for an interim injunction at the Accra High Court on Friday, April 24 to prevent the EC from going ahead with the said workshop in his constituency.
The court presided over by Justice John Eugene Nyante Nyadu upon hearing the application moved by lawyer Justice Srem-Sai ordered the EC and all its officials from going ahead with the meeting.
“It is hereby ordered that the respondent and all persons claiming through the respondent (EC) refrain from holding the workshop or conference scheduled to take place at the Escape Hotel Prampram from the 24th of April, 2020,” the court ruled.
The order, according to the court, will expire on April 27.

The Non Patriotic Party is the biggest threat to Ghana' s democracy, rule of law and development. NPP is a tradition of Coup makers, mercenaries, bomb thrower, tribal politics, political violence/ vandalism, Nation looters, contact killers and saboteurs. So long as this Matemeho group remains in Ghana we are doomed.
Akuffo Addo has turned the Electoral Commission into A Vote Rigging Machinery hijacked by Akyem Armyworms.
Re: Abakah why are you blockheaded go back and read the court order what does the Npp and President Nana Addo got to do with this EC workshop no wonder there's no credible and sensible person in ur Ndc party why don't you evil party leader's to tell ur corrupt party leader GO1 to comment on Airbus scandal and leave EC alone if u don't know the same EC has autonomous power to change the election 2020 date to next if it's feels the timing is wrong due to Covid-19 pandemic the election will be affected. Ndc party members must read and learn more.
Its clear the rush of nana addo to lift the lockdown fully is to pave way npp-EC partnership to start the voter register, the life of people is not important but npp-EC plan to clinch to power is nana addo objective.
