EC must not allow smaller parties to take decisions at IPAC - Kofi Bentil

The Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil has said that the Electoral Commission (EC) should not allow some entities that consider themselves as political parties to take part in decision-making at IPAC.

Bentil explained that he does not see the reason why entities which per the the Constitution should not exist are being allowed by the Electoral Commission to sit with political parties and make decisions.

He posited that some of the existing political parties have no place on IPAC.

“Only political parties who have ever been in government, have representation in Parliament and have submitted their necessary papers including auditors accounts should be on IPAC”.

“EC clearly has designed its own system which is unlawful, by which it allows certain entities which includes one-man parties parading as national political parties who don’t have offices anywhere

When you do that, you will have the credible participant in this process leave like NDC has left

“It must obey the law, clean half the register to have meaningful dialogue among the political parties who essentially are the ones who run this country”, Mr
