charged the clergy to stay off the debate whether to compile a new voter register or not because it is not their duty to determine for the Electoral Commission (EC) He asked the clergy to concentrate on evangelism and leave politics to the politicians. “I’m a deputy communications director of the NDC and I’m saying that is the standpoint of the
NDC and our response to the call by the clergy and those mounting pressure on the EC to change the voters register,. “If the Christian Council has the power to appoint a President in Ghana, there wouldn’t be any elections in this country, that is why the people of Ghana have been given the mandate to vote,” he bragged. Christian council does not have the mandate to determine the way elections and its processes should be handled in Ghana. He further indicated that, it is the same EC which supervised the elections of J. J. Rawlings, J. A. Kufuor among others, so all should shut up and leave the EC alone. The NDC Deputy Communications Director said, the EC has given all parties the opportunity to defend their positions on this issue at the Alisa Hotel on the 29th -30 October, 2015. However, the Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North Constituency, Kwadwo Baah Agyemang, who was a panel member on the show, was amazed by his comments and questioned whether the comments represented the view of the NDC. He could not believe the Christian Council, which intervened in the 2012 General Elections at the time, could be warned to stay off the debate on having a clean electoral process. "Today the NDC is warning the clergy, civil societies, former Presidents and all Ghanaians to shut up on the need to change the voter register...?" he asked. The Asante Akyem North MP was convinced that, the NDC has a hidden agenda about the register.
