Member of Parliament for South Dayi Constituency, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor
Member of Parliament for South Dayi Constituency, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, says the Electoral Commission has no right to nullify the parliamentary results for Dome Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central and Ablekuma North due to procedural breaches and threats to its staff during the collation process.
According to him, Constitutional Instrument 127 (CI 127) is clear on the processes to validate or not validate electoral results.
‘’Particularly after the declaring of results, for the EC to do what it is doing. In fact, Jean Mensa has become a danger to our democracy. She cannot be a law in itself. The EC is subject to the constitution and subject to CI 127. CI 127 is very clear that where results are declared, it is not up to the EC to decide to ignore, validate or not validate that declaration because the declaration is pursuant to CI 127’’.
He mentioned that the constitution stipulates the channel needed to challenge electoral results.
‘’The constitution is very clear in Article 99 clause 1 paragraph A, where a person is at grief or there is a challenge, the High Court has the original jurisdiction in this matter.”
