Council of state elections: OF PRESIDING MEMBERS PETITIONS EC, REGIONAL COORDINATING COUNCIL Against Violation of the 1992 Constitution:

Conference of the Presiding Members,Ashanti region on Friday,31st January  2025 petitioned the electoral commission of Ghana,Ashanti region and the against violation of the 1992 Constitution.

Ashanti regional coordinating council  We the undersigned, respectfully petition your reputable office that, some National Democratic Congress (NDC) party officials in collaboration with some coordinating Directors are attempting to send different names other than those nominated by the various Assemblies to the Regional coordinating council for onward submission to the Regional office of the Electoral commission to form the Electoral college for the upcoming Ashanti Regional council of state elections.

This would be a direct violation of the paragraph (c) of clause(2) of Article 89 of the 1992 constitution and will undermine the principles of democratic representation and the Rule of law. In order to prevent total rejection of the President’s MMDCEs nominees in Ashanti Region, we urge you to take immediate action to address this constitutional breach by:
I) Rejecting any nomination of the two(2) Assembly members apart from those nominated by the various Assemblies, on the Assembly’s letter head and signed by the Coordinating Director.
ii) Confirming the two(2) nominees from the Hon. Presiding Members of the respective Assemblies
iii) Making sure the coordinating Directors liaise with the elected Assembly members to nominate the two(2) representatives where there are no Presiding Members.
iv) Holding accountable those responsible for this constitutional violation.
We believe that, upholding the constitution is essential to maintaining the integrity of our democratic institutions.
We look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

Signed
……….
