Former President and also the flagbearer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has said that despite the happenings with the country’s electoral process, violence is not a way to go about to get the Electoral Commission (EC) to do the right thing.

He explained that, the country has rules and regulations that binds all and believes that, since the Commission also operates with regulations, it is appropriate to go through the right channels to get things straightened.

John Mahama made the above remarks to respond to party sympathizers who are bashing the flagbearer and the NDC for treating the Electoral Commission with kid gloves over the voter registration anomalies and some other flaws the EC has exhibited since the start of the compilation of the new voter register.

He, however, stated that, during the administration of former President Rawlings, former President Kuffour and his administration, it saw peace in most national occasion and also in electoral process but recently these same national occasion and electoral process are marred by violence even in voter register compilation.
