Poll results: Summon a meeting of Eminent Advisory Committee – Nana Ato Dadzie to Short

December 24, 2020

A member of the Eminent Advisory Committee Nana Ato Dadzie has asked the chair of the Committee, Justice Emile Short to summon a meeting immediately on the December 7 general elections and issues emerging from the polls.

In an open letter to Justice Short, he said “The situation has been compounded by what appears to have been some weaknesses in the post voting collation exercise, leading to the unacceptable and wholly avoidable loss of precious lives of some 6-8 Ghanaians.

“We all must be alarmed and legitimately seek to be briefed on what went wrong. Tension is obviously building up in the country as seen and read both in the mainstream and social media.”

Below is the full letter…

OPEN LETTER TO JUSTICE EMILE SHORT TO CALL MEETING OF EC EMINENT PERSONS GROUP TO DELIBERATE ON AFTERMATH OF GENERAL ELECTIONS.

On the 25th November our Advisory  Committee had a tough “Zoom meeting”  with the EC with tempers slightly frayed.

On the 26th November, the EC Commissioner issued a letter of commendation and appreciation for the open and frank interaction of the 25th and the pieces of advice (nuggets) and wisdom  voluntarily advanced by members to assist in the common task ahead of the EC, ie to execute  on the 7th of December during Ghana’s  Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.

Today, ie the 23rd December 2020, the Elections are technically over but clearly, and as was expected, there is a chorus of complaints and objections, including open public street  demonstrations directed at EC on its election management performance on the 7th December 2020.

The situation has been compounded by what appears to have been some weaknesses in the post voting collation exercise, leading to the unacceptable and wholly avoidable loss of precious lives of some 6-8 Ghanaians.

We all must be alarmed and legitimately seek to be briefed on what went wrong.

Tension is obviously building up in the country as seen and read both in the mainstream and social media.

Our Eminent Advisory Committee is yet to be briefed:

  1. a) on the election management (Presidential and Parliamentary Elections held on 7th December, 2020) as executed by the EC.
  2. b) circumstances leading to the shooting to death and maiming of Ghanaian citizens
  3. c) Open Post Election challenges and growing tension in the country.
  4. d) Other matters.

As Chairman of this Eminent Advisory Committee (Mr Justice Emile  Short), I, Nana Ato Dadzie, cv, member  of the Committee, wish through you,   to respectfully call for an urgent meeting of the Advisory Committee, to enable the E.C and the Commission  comprehensively brief our Committee on the issues raised above.

A recent public  statement suggesting that the Commission has  shut down and gone on break till 19/1/21  is generally considered worrying and disturbing not only because of  perceived urgent outstanding issues  hanging in the mass media and from stake holders,  redressable by the EC, but also the want of any  briefing whatsoever of your august Advisory Committee, on issues raised supra.

The Eminent Advisory Committee and its  Honourable and Distinguished members are currently placed in a highly embarrassing position as the proverbial “Simpa Panyin.”

Inspite of its structural and constitutional challenges from  birth, I believe the  Eminent Committee has in its advisory role,  performed creditably during its  tenure.

A full and comprehensive analysis of the Committee’s  operations, may prove beneficial to the State for the future, in building a more durable and sustainable Electoral Management institution.

Mr Chairman, Justice Short, please accept for your attention and follow up action with the EC.

Also for information of all Honourable members of the Advisory Committtee, and the general public on whose behalf we were called to serve.

NANA ATO DADZIE, cv.

Member,

Eminent Advisory Committee

(Electoral Commission).
