December Election Might Be Postponed Due To Western Togoland Secessionist

According to the Governance Research Bureau,the December 7 elections might be postponed if the attacks from the Western Togoland Secessionist do not not stopped.

Speaking on TV3 Election Watch programme monitored by Ghanaarticles.com on Wednesday, Dr. Kwame Asah Asante, Resource Person of the Bureau, explained that the exclusion of any part of the country from exercising their franchise in the presidential election would paralyzed the Electoral Commission from declaring a winner.

The analysts believe that if there should be  any postponement of the December 7 presidential election, it will create a leadership vacuum as Ghana will be without a president after January 7, 2021 though parliamentary elections can be held in the other regions and their results declared.

Explaining further, Dr Asante said the Volta Region is one of the strongholds of the National Democratic Party, and it had a lot to lose if the region was destabilized, adding that already a measure of voter apathy was witnessed in the 2012 and 2016 elections in Ho Central, North and South Tongu constituencies

Not forgetting the National Patriotic Party, Dr. Asante said, the had been performing well in the Volta Region over the years and it would need its increasing share of votes in the region to boost its chances of winning the elections.
