Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe asserts that the Electoral Commission(EC) has no power to disqualify a person from contesting as a Member of Parliament(MP).
During an interview on Ghana Tonight on TV3, Edudzi Tamakloe slammed the Electoral Commission over the disqualification of Joan Gyan Cudjoe, the Amenfi Central Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress(NDC). "The Electoral Commission is deeply in error.
We sent a letter to the Electoral Commission and in that letter, we have communicated our disapproval with what they have put out." "The Electoral Commission cannot disqualify a person from being elected as a Member of Parliament.
That does not lie in their ban," he said.
