The Electoral Commission (EC) has directed its officers to re-admit political party agents for them to be able to observe the ongoing voter transfer exercise.
The commission had decided to stop political party agents from observing the exercise in line with the constitutional instrument (C.I.) governing voter transfers following confrontations and delays to the exercise as a result of the actions of the political party agents.
Speaking at a press briefing on Tuesday, to address the unsightly developments, the Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Operations, Mr. Samuel Tettey, said the commission was going to re-admit the party agents started on June 5 and that the decision was part of efforts to deepen transparency and accountability and to encourage peaceful electoral processes ahead of the December 7 general election.
The commission, he said, has, therefore, urged the leaders of the political parties to educate their agents on the commission’s laws before assigning them duties as observers of the various electoral activities.
The Commission said it aims to prevent further disturbances and ensure a smooth vote transfer process. It said it would not hesitate to request the withdrawal of agents who disrupt the transfer process.
