2016 Elections, :".......... we are prepared to fight If.....” - Dr. Baah tells EC

Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah, Head of the Political Science Department at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), is urging the Electoral Commission (EC) to declare President Mahama winner of the upcoming 2016 elections if it does not change the voters register. “The EC should declare the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President Mahama as winners of the 2016 election if it is not prepared to change the voters register,” According to him, the lackadaisical attitude of the Commission in responding to calls for a new voters register is sickening. Dr. Amoako-Baah made the comment on Nhyira FM’s morning show, Kroyi mu Nsem programme on Thursday hosted by Kofi Asante Ennin. Dr. Amoako-Baah cited calls by the Catholic Bishops Conference, former President Rawlings and political parties as enough indication of the people's wish. The Political Scientist believes a new register will put to rest the doubt in the minds of the opposition parties. Dr. Amoako-Baah said he fears Ghana could be plunged into civil war if the current voters register is not changed. “I don’t see the reason for the delay so if we don’t change it then we are prepared to fight,” he stated.
