Supreme Court should run elections in Ghana – Anyidoho fumes
Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National
Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho says the
Supreme Court should be allowed to run elections
in the country.

He could not fathom why the apex court through
its actions is seemingly interfering in the
operation of the Electoral Commission (EC).

Koku Anyidoho's comment is in reaction to the
directive by the apex court to the EC to furnish
it with a “comprehensive" list of all persons
who registered with the NHIS cards.

The Supreme Court in a bid to give further
interpretation to its May 5 judgment on the
controversy regarding the voters' register, has
directed the EC to furnish it with a
“comprehensive" list of all persons who
registered with the NHIS cards.

Additionally, the apex court directed the EC to
develop a guideline on the specific processes and
methods they intend to adopt in implementing the
orders in the May 5 judgment on the voters
register.

The orders follow the interpretation-confusion
that ensued between the electoral commission and
Abu Ramadan, the plaintiff who went to court to
seek an interpretation of the legality or
otherwise of such names in the electoral roll.

Though the EC has given the assurance it will
meet the June 29 deadline given them by the
Supreme Court; Mr Anyidoho believes the order is
an attempt to do a new voter register.

“It is not possible that the SC will tell the
EC what to do because I know the EC in its own way
is discharging its duties as an institution, and
so it is better to allow the Supreme Court to run
the elections if it feels the EC is inefficient.

Koku Anyidoho indicated that, since the names of
people who registered with NHIS cards can prove
their citizenship, then their names ought not to
be deleted.

“The NHIS card has been in existence for long
and so I don’t understand why they should still
demand the list. If the Supreme Court receives the
list, what next will they use the names for,” he
quizzed?
