“The EC did well. Some of us our position was that it was needless to have a new voters register. I was part of the Electoral Reforms Committee and we argued that there should not be any major electoral activity including the compilation of a new register in an election year. Some of us spoke against it but the Electoral Commission stood its ground and did it nicely.”
“After the registration exercise, the transparency with which they did everything was unprecedented.”

Also, he explained that the BVDs also functioned well. The voting process was also seamless because these BVDs worked well. So when it comes to elections I think everything went well.

If you compare it to previous elections, I think this was one of the most transparent,” he explained.
In his opinion, the Law Court is the best place for the NDC and other aggrieved parties in the elections to seek redress.
“But there is a place to go when there are allegations of rigging and other election malpractices. There, they truly understand what the Pink Sheet means. They know what it means to say an election result has been rigged. Rather than telling many of us who do not even know and understand what a Pink Sheet must contain.
I respectfully plead with the political parties by the mercies of God to gather their watertight evidence. And go tell the story about their misgivings on the elections to those who understand and have the capacity to adjudicate the issues. There can be no bias in such adjudicate processes when the evidence is clear,” Professor Gyampo added.
