The Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elvis Afriyie Ankrah says the Deputy Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Eric Bossman Asare must go back to school to learn more about politics after describing him as a 'Trickster'.
According to him, Dr. Bossman’s comments on the EC’s decision to compile a new voters’ register were “unfortunate” and inimical to the peace and stability of the country.
“He must go to GIMPA to learn more,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced it will be compiling a new voter’s register for the 2020 general elections.
This announcement comes after a stakeholders’ meeting with the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) on Wednesday.
The NDC has strongly denied such a conclusion has been reached and asked the Electoral Commission to withdraw the "deceptive" and absurd communique.
Reacting to the claims by the NDC, on Eyewitness News, Dr. Asare intimated that, the EC will not engage in any partisan media banter, a comment Elvis Afriyie did not take kindly.
Dr Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairman of the EC, speaking in an interview on Citi Eyewitness News Thursday, was emphatic that it lies only in the bosom of the EC to determine if and when "a new register is necessary", adding that the Commission will provide a new register in 2020 no matter the objections from any political party.

FROM HANSARD OF IPAC MEETING NEW VOTERS REGISTER WAS MENTIONED BY EC, AS REVEALED BY KWAKU BARKO . AT LEAST, ONE PERSON ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT IT FOR EC TO CLARIFY. IF NO OBJECTION WAS RAISED WHERE COMES THE CLAIM THAT IT WAS NOT DISCUSSED AT THE MEETING. DO WE NEED TO ARGUE ABOUT EVERY ITEM AT MEETINGS FOR IT TO BECOME ACCEPTED WHEN THE MATTER IS OBVIOUS AND CLEAR. WHY WASTE TIME ON ISSUES WHICH REQUIRE NO DEBATE? TIME IS MONEY AND WE MUST LEARN TO CHERISH IT AT MEETINGS. SHAME TO ELVIS AFRIYIE ANKRAH FOR THE MISINFORMATION TO HIS PARTY AND GHANAIANS. AND IT IS MORE SHAMEFUL FOR HIM TO ATTACK DR. BOSSMAN. ELVIS HAS BETRAYED HIMSELF AS DUMP AND NOT BEING SMART. HE FAILED TO SPEAK AT THE ISSUE AT MEETING WHEN NOBODY WOULD HAVE STOPPED HIM. HE RATHER CHOOSES THE MEDIA TO GIVE HIS OPINION AND ATTACKS UNJUSTIFIABLY. HE IS DISHONEST AND THEREFORE CORRUPT. NO WONDER HE WAS DISMISSED FROM MINISTERIAL POSITION.

NO WONDER NDC GAVE YOU THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF ELECTIONS, JUST TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST (CORRUPTION AND STEALING). IF WE LEARN ELECTIONS AT GIMPA THEN I GUESS THE 2016 PETITION SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED BY GIMPA....ONAAAPO!!!
EEIIIIIII SO THIS ***barred word*** IS STILL ALIVE. "TAFLATSE PEOPLE"
Let's be patient with Elvis. He was lost but now found, still his unrepentant self. God save Ghana.
Awi mum Awi like afryie Ankara calling someone trickster. God forgive him. Ofodu Ampofo agenda"we will make this country ungovernable " Much ado about NOTHING
I don’t blame you. The nerve! You are walking about freely after Brazil, so you can open your buccal cavity and spew out the remainder of the Kenkey leaves from Brazil.
WONDERS SHALL NEVER END AS THE SAYING GOES! AFRIYIE ANKRAH OF ALL PEOPLE CALLING PEOPLE WITH IMPECCABLE CREDENTIALS NAMES. YOUR NDC SUPERVISED BLOATED VOTERS REGISTER AND REFUSED SUPREME COURT ORDER TO COMPILE A NEW REGISTER.YOUR NDC MADE SURE ILLEGAL ALIENS WERE REGISTERED AND GIVEN CITIZENSHIP TO VOTE FOR THE NDC IN OUR GENERAL ELECTIONS. YOU SHOULD BE THE LAST PERSON TO ACCUSE PEOPLE WITH CREDIBILITY NAMES. THE MILLIONS OF TAXPAYERS MONEY THAT YOU SQUANDERED AT BRAZIL AND MAHAMA FINDING A PLACE FOR YOU TO HIDE AT THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. NDC COMPROMISED CHARLOTTE OSEI SHOULD COUNT HERSELF LUCKY FOR JUST BEING DISMISSED AND NOT PROSECUTED FOR THE NUMEROUS CRIMES AGAINST THE STATE AND HER OUTFIT. ONLY IN GHANA THAT A HAND-PICKED MAHAMA'S ASSOCIATE/CONCUBINE OCCUPIED SUCH A SENSITIVE POSITION AND MISUSED STATE RESOURCES AND WAS JUST DISMISSED WITHOUT PROSECUTION. MOREOVER, CHARLOTTE DEMONIC AND EVIL INTENTION/ATTEMPT TO KEEP MAHAMA IN OFFICE NEARLY PLUNGED THE NATION INTO A CIVIL WAR. THIS ROGUE CHARLOTTE OVER-STEPPED ALL PROCEDURES BY SOLELY AWARDING CONTRACTS WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO NDC CRONIES LATER TO COLLECT HER SHARE. THERE IS NO WAY THIS UNREPENTANT CHARLOTTE SHOULD BE FLAUNTING HER ILLEGALLY ACQUIRED WEALTH IN THE FACE OF MILLIONS OF DESPERATE AND HUNGER-STRICKEN GHANAIANS. NANA ADDO AND & NPP SHOULD SHARE PART OF THE BLAME FOR THEIR SILENCE ON THE CHARLOTTE OSEI ISSUE. IT'S ALSO SHAMEFUL FOR HER SLEAZY NATIONAL DEMONS CONGRESS (NDC) TO STILL JUMPING TO HER DEFENSE. HIGH PROFILE CORRUPTION CASE LIKE THAT OF CHARLOTTE OSEI THAT IS ESCAPING PROSECUTION IS THE REASON WHY INDEPENDENT -MINDED GHANAIANS ARE LOSING FAITH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THE COUNTRY!!!
This chap Elvis is trying to intimidate Dr Bossman Asare. Elvis and and Dr Asare, who needs to go to GIMPA? These politicians have become rich through dubious means and they talk any how if the source of income is threaten. With free SHS and Ghanaian gradually becoming educated, NDC will never come back to power with their insults.
It's a pity a person like Afriyie Ankrah should have the audacity to call Dr Bossman a trickster. But that is NDC politics. But what will forever gladden my heart is that the NDC is out of power and not in a position to s.t.e.a.l our money again. S.T.E.A.L.E.R.S
