Kofi Kyei Calls on Disputing MPs to Present Pink Sheets for Live Verification

Wed, 25 Dec 2024 Source: Mercy Mensah

Kofi Kyei, a writer and social commentator, has proposed an interesting solution to validate claims of aspiring Members of Parliament who feel they've been cheated. He suggests that these individuals should present their original pink sheets live to the media for recounting, allowing the public to witness the verification process firsthand. This approach, according to Kyei, would not only help build trust but also provide a solid foundation for seeking legal redress.




Kyei cited the case of Okaikwei Central, where the initial declaration was based on 110 polling stations instead of 140, highlighting the importance of cross-checking and verifying results. He emphasized that presenting original pink sheets live to the media would help aspiring MPs prove their claims and gain public support.

This proposal raises important questions about transparency and accountability in Ghana's electoral process. By presenting original pink sheets live to the media, aspiring MPs can demonstrate their commitment to fairness and accuracy, helping to build trust with the public.

It's worth noting that the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has stated that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) lacks a complete dossier of their pink sheets, which could impact their ability to verify results . Kyei's proposal could help address this issue and promote transparency in the electoral process.
