Electoral Commission of Ghana must thread cautiously.



Regulation 47 (3) of the CI 127 establishes that all documents and records pertaining to the 2020 elections must be retained and preserved for a period of one year, unless otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Any other action contrary to this will not only be illegal and criminal but will cast deep shadow of doubts over the integrity and true independence of the Electoral Commission, in tandem the just ended declaration of 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary results.

It will only leave many objective minds and observers wonder while questioning the ulterior motive, intention and purpose of such premature decisions when it's only five (5) days since the election results were declared.

A referee, just like in football, has many ways of showing bias towards the other team. It could be through infringements, showing of cards and deliberate punishment such as penalties.
However, what has not been chronicled about such biased referees is personally scoring  goals  to give victory to the side of the team they are, It has never happened.

This analogy presupposes that even biased referees are expected to be smart and intelligent while being objective pretentiously.

The continuous chameleon lifestyle of the EC is gradually becoming an incumbrance to our national peace and stability looking at the nirvana of challenges it poses to our democracy.
