NDC Calls for Removal of Electoral Officer Over Alleged Partisanship

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is demanding the immediate removal of Isaac Darko, the Municipal Electoral Officer for Nandom, following his public declaration of allegiance to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the NPP Parliamentary primary in the Nandom Constituency.

Isaac Darko openly admitted to his party affiliation over the weekend while overseeing the NPP primary, raising concerns about his impartiality in the electoral process.

Osman Ayariga, the Deputy National Youth Organizer of the NDC, expressed the party’s dissatisfaction and announced their intention to address what they perceive as bias within the electoral commission. Ayariga emphasized that electoral officers are expected to be independent and neutral, and Darko’s affiliation with the NPP undermines the integrity of the electoral process.

“We state our position clearly that Mr. Isaac Akoto Darko must go and he must not continue to be in that office as the Municipal Electoral Director Officer for Nandom,” Ayariga declared.

The NDC plans to submit a formal petition to the electoral commission, urging the removal of Isaac Akoto Darko and other individuals with perceived partisan affiliations within the electoral commission’s structure. The party is committed to pursuing official channels to rectify the situation and ensure fairness in the electoral process.
