Chairman and Flagbearer of the opposition Independent People's Party, Kofi Akpaloo is alleging that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Charlotte Osei is colluding with the Commission's lawyer, Thaddeus Sory to fleece the state.

According to him, the only motivation the Chairperson of the EC has in embarking on a series of court battles with candidates in the run up to the December 7 elections is the financial benefits that may have been agreed upon between her and Mr. Sory.

Speaking to Kwame Gyan on e.TV Ghana's news and current affairs programme, State of the Nation, a visibly unhappy Mr. Akpaloo said, "from where I am sitting as an accountant, I am suspecting that they are using this to milk the state; you know it goes to court with legal fees. Their lawyer will be paid for his services. We live in a country where people can do anything. Because she is sitting somewhere suspecting that we can forge signatures. So I am also suspecting that she is also conniving with the lawyer”.

When quizzed by programme host Kwame Gyan on whether he had evidence in suggestion that the two were colluding to defraud the state, the IPP leader retorted that "…but she also impugned criminal motives; if she thinks that we can forge then she herself she is a criminal so she too can do something of that sort".

Mr. Akpaloo who was among the 12 aspirants disqualified from contesting the December 7 polls by the EC on the specific grounds that “the number of subscribers to Mr. Akpaloo’s forms did not meet the requirements of Regulation 7 (2) (b) of CI 94. The details are as follows: three subscribers supported the nomination of another candidate in breach of Regulation 7 (4) of CI 94.

Again, the cross subscribers have different signatures on the nomination forms raising questions as to the legitimacy of these signatures. We will refer the matter of the possible forgeries of these signatures to the Ghana Police Service and the Attorney General for investigation and prosecution in line with the following sections of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29): Section 211: Perjury Section 248: making false declaration etc. for office or voting; Section 251: Deceiving a public officer, Section 256: Corruption, Intimidation and personation in respect of election”.

Mr. has not taken the disqualification lightly. In a series of media outbursts he has accused the EC of deliberately trying to sabotage him among other accusations. He insist that the grounds for his disqualification are frivolous particularly when one considers them in reference to CI94.

“Even a lawyer who has just graduated from school can win the case against the EC with regards to CI94 9(2) and so the lawyers should know better; she herself she is a lawyer she is a lawyer so she should know she will lose”.

After twisting the neck of all the laws governing the selection of EC chairperson and its members in our constitution, Mr. Mahama corruptly and hurriedly imposed Madam Alata on Ghanaians just to steal their verdict for him again. Believe me; the EC has been caught on many occasions sleeping in bed with the NDC electoral thieves since 1992, when the so-called P/NDC revolutionaries cunningly changed their Khakis to civilian clothes to enable them perpetuate their dreadful, undemocratic rule.

Until the corrupt Charlotte Alata and her deputy, Mr. Amadu Sulley Zabarama, occupying the EC presently are dead and gone, or their corrupt ways changed completely, Ghanaians will continue to believe that the EC is there only to serve the interest of their NDC paymasters. For this reason, Ghanaians are determined not to allow the NDC con-men steal their verdict again.

This is very serious. I will urge the other opposition parties to help the NPP in their fight for a free and transparent elections. The EC should be dragged to court to force them do the right thing.

Instead of going to the ground and campaign, always litigating about useless things.
The elections are won at the pooling stations not on pink sheets. Period!!!

During the 2012 elections, the EC printed pink sheets with duplicate serial numbers and in 2016 general elections, the EC again Is printing pink sheets without serial numbers.This is a deliberate action by the EC to rig the elections in favour of one political party.The electoral laws are there but, deliberately,the EC would not apply them to ensure free,transparent and fair elections
The EC has no credibility going into this 2016 general elections.

Mr Martin Agyei Korsah and his team at the internal NPP elections department, must be highly commended for their due diligence of work so far, to ensure accountability and demanding answers from the Electoral commission in it's discharge of public duties. Last week in Ashanti region, the NPP took the EC to task as to why parliamentary balloting materials for the region were printed by omitting NPP initials on the Osono logo, where as all others had their initials on their logos. Then again today, Mr Korsah and his team is questioning the EC on the vital issue of the omission of serial numbers on the so called PINK SHEETS for the tabulation of pooling and electoral results through out the2016 election process. Now considering the nightmare we went through during the 2012 PRESIDENTIAL electoral petition at Atuguba Supreme court adjudication, it will be grossly irresponsible ineptitude, criminal and insane for the EC to allegedly instruct the printers not to include the very important serial numbers on the pink sheets. Has the EC not learn any lessons? Otherwise for shirking their responsibilities for reasons only known to themselves,all the EC commissioners should be surcharged with the cost of any reprinted pink sheets with the serial numbers rightfully embossed on them. They should also be charged with causing financial loss to the state of Ghana.
