General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has condemned a suggestion by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) for parties in the election dispute not to seek review after the verdict on Thursday, August 29, 2013.
In a statement issued by the IEA, not challenging the judgement by the Supreme Court will �facilitate the process of national reconciliation and unity�.
That is too blank an advice, Mr Asiedu Nketia said in an interview on TV3�s News 360 on Wednesday, August 21, 2013.
�I think they shouldn�t be talking about the right of review at this stage,� he added. He said what the IEA should rather be concerned with ensuring that political parties adhered to the code of conduct agreed upon prior to the 2012 elections.
�We political parties and IEA have failed in agreeing to the code of conduct,� he emphasised.
He laid the blame squarely at the doorstep of the monitoring group, which promised to name and shame defaulting politicians.
�Statements were made and it took the Supreme Court to sanction people,� he wondered.
