Comrades, we are gradually getting to the point of knowing whether the EC is independent or not.
We are also getting to a point of knowing whether institution with autonomous and independent authority granted by the 1992 constitution (legal frame of the land) like the EC can easily be influenced or not.
Directive by the Supreme Court to the EC has given the EC an opportunity to exhibit and make legal evidence and references to the effect of excluding the prima facie evidence(voter ID card) of citizens from this important exercise (voter registration).
The Supreme Court (highest law of the land) asking the EC to provide the empirical basis for their uncompromising stance to compile a new voters' register has gradually deflated the confidence of the institution led by Jean Mensah.
The NDC as the biggest opposition party has clearly demonstrated a genuine concern and fighting the EC legally for their readiness to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters through the compilation of a new voters' register which accept only *passport* and *Ghana* as the basis for registration.
The NDC's decision to appear before the SC(highest court) has justified and supported their case with the following;
Legal justification:
1. The 1992 Constitution
2. An Act of Parliament
3. Subsidiary Legislation j
4. The Court made an order justifying it.
We waiting to see what the EC presents to the Supreme Court on Monday as a justification to exclude myself from voting on 7the December because i have neither passport nor Ghana card.
I must commend the legal team for how far they have come and urge all comrades to support the course for this fight.
