While I have no beef in this palaver, I have to admit that some of the EC chair's positions can be controversial. This latest proposal makes no sense knowing it is coming from the EC chair herself. It wouldn't be controversial if it were coming from party advocates. You can't just snap major changes out of thin air an upcoming major elections without prior trials. It is crazy, to say the least. The woman is either not that smart or secretly a serious sympathizer of select parties.

Why is that most of the changes that Jean Mensa, Bossman Asare, Samuel Tettey led EC propose are changes that will rather have negative effect on the credibility of the election and potentially on the peace of Ghana? They want to eliminate the use of indelible ink and bring the closing time to 3 pm, when some polling stations get their materials after 12 pm and voting starts at 1 pm. God save Ghana.

NDC is always ready to cause confusion. They can never think of anything good but are always ready to oppose everything. What is wrong in closing polls at 3 pm? If some areas don't get their voting materials in time, their closing time can go beyond 3pm as has been the practice ever since. There is no need to draw arms because of this. Haruna, a lawmaker you can also suggest that, I think 3pm is a bit early, let's make it 3.30pm or 4pm, then we all move on. As for the indelible ink, I am surprised the EC used it during the NPP parliamentary primaries. If that is the case then EC should bring it during the general election. We don't have to kill ourselves because of indelible ink. Haruna, this does not call for any trouble.

Mr. Amin, you are so partisan that your thinking cap has suddenly disappeared. This has been an interesting party agreement all over the world. In some places elections go beyond 5:00 pm. That is if the infrastructures are well in place. You may be NPP so I wonder what people like you would have done if NDC were in power for such an announcement to be made.

Why do Northerners love violence?With his long stay in Parliament I was expecting Haruna to assist the EC bring out the best in Dec 2024 rather he insist we close after 6.00pm,to allow voters to fight in the night.

Kay, the EC is not a new born baby that needs assistance. It has been in existence for many years. They don't need any assistance. They need to be disciplined into thinking rationally.

What sense is the EC making here. She should come out and tell us the problems or challenges she has with the time tested procedures of the indelible ink and the 5pm closing time. What are her problems with what we have tried and accepted over the years? Who at all is this woman?

Leaders in this country sometimes behave as if they're wiser than any body. Instead of all of you sitting down to find the reason as to why the EC want pills to be closed by that 3pm look at them. Instead of advising people to go to the pools early and finding ways to make voting smooth and stress free so that counting of ballots will be done early, your heart threatening the EC. Backwards thinkers....

The EC will one day bring trouble to mother Ghana, since Nkrumah election to Akuffo Addo indelible ink is used why now? Hope you will explain it to Ghanaians, l will suggest the position of e, c should cancelled, each region should have an independent system for an election not one an show,. Nuclear weapons have three top military players before the it's fired. Any serious political issues will start with the EC. Thanks

3pm is good for EC but not good for NDC and NPP because the period between 3pm and 5pm is when this parties do over Voting.

Look. Your vetuperative stands won't help you in your elections. I was against the npp for so many things and so decided not to vote at all. But since characters like you and your cohorts have adopted the insulting posture in your submissions , l have decided to go and vote on that day.
