Stop playing party politics, just do the job – Dafeamekpor to EC

Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, the Member of Parliament for South Dayi, has shared his thoughts about the conduct of the Electoral Commission (EC) regarding the just ended 2024 elections.

In an appearance on TV3’s Key Points on December 28, Dafeamekpor questioned the fairness and transparency of the electoral process, particularly the handling of certain procedures by some EC officials.

His comments came after the Supreme Court ruled to quash a High Court decision regarding the recollation of votes in some constituencies.

Dafeamekpor’s frustrations with the EC were evident as he criticized what he perceived as inconsistent application of electoral rules.

“I am questioning the conduct of some of the EC officials… they cannot apply the rules differently when it suits them,” Dafeamekpor remarked, underscoring his concerns over the potential manipulation of rules to favour certain outcomes.

Dafeamekpor’s frustration did not end there. He expressed a broader dissatisfaction with the EC’s overall handling of the election process.

“Be a party foot soldier if you can’t do the job… all we are saying is that let the proper thing be done,” he emphasized, calling for accountability and transparency from the commission as the dust settles on the election.
