He argues that the Commission plans on still disqualifying political aspirants, in their bid to increase the NDC’s chances of winning the elections. Martin Amidu has continued to point accusing fingers at the Commission for their deliberate attempt to rig the election.
The former AG has released a statement titled, “The Electoral Commissioner Is Still Determined to Rig the Elections by Disqualifying All 13 Aspiring Candidates Again”, to bemoan the EC’s actions. Part of his statement reads:
Nduom and the others may rush to the Supreme Court again for interpretation of its decision of yesterday [Monday]. My worry is that, the Commissioner is still deliberately determined to rig the elections by disqualifying the 12 candidates, and is wagering on the fact that before the Court interprets its decision, there would be no further time left before the close of today 8th November 2016.
In his statement, Amidu feared that the Commissioner is determined to render unimportant, the decision and orders of the Supreme Court on technical grounds.
