NDC's Argument "Hold No Water" - Lawyer Gary Jabs
Jul 12, 2020
An astute private legal practitioner, lawyer Gary Nimako Marfo says the argument of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the Electoral Commission (EC) is violating the constitution by registering students in their various schools does not hold any water.
According to him, the Electoral Commission (EC) is rather bringing into effect the full realisation of the constitution which enjoins the EC to make sure that every young Ghanaian person who is 18 years and above and of sound mind register to take part in elections.
Speaking on FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ Morning Show, lawyer Nimako Marfo intimated that the Constitution of the country is the ultimate law which is bigger than the Constitutional Instrument (CI) that the NDC is basing their argument on to say that the EC cannot register eligible Ghanaian voters outside the gazetted centres for registration.
“We have a constitution in this country and that is the ultimate law bigger than any law in this country. The constitution says that the Electoral Commission has the mandate to register eligible Ghanaians who are 18 years and above and of sound mind,” he mentioned.
“This is the constitutional obligation on the Electoral Commission (EC) that if anybody who is a Ghanaian and is 18 years and above and of sound mind comes to the EC, that person must be registered,” he stressed.
