South Dayi MP Gives EC Boss  7 Days To Withdraw Decision To Invoke The Use Of  Indelible Ink In Elections

The Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor has given a 7-day ultimatum to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa to withdraw the administrative directive that revokes the use of indelible ink in elections.

In a letter dated January 9, Mr Dafeamekpor described the directive as unlawful.

“By this letter, therefore, I demand that, within 7 days, upon receipt of same, you withdraw the said administrative directive unlawfully revoking the statutory use of the indelible ink as part of our electoral authentication process as it undoubtedly amounts to a unilateral REPEAL of Regulation 33, sub-regulation 2, Paragraph (c) of Constitutional Instrument 127, 2020 without any recourse to Parliament, the only Constitutionally mandated organ of state with power so to do,” Mr Dafeamekpor wrote.
