The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has condemned a comment by the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana.
The EC described some actions of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a threat to Ghana's democracy.
Deputy Chairperson at the EC, Dr. Eric Bossman Asare had indicated that “I think if there is anyone who is becoming a threat or a potential threat to the democracy we are practicing in our country, then I will rather say that it is the posture of the NDC. Since this new Commission took over we have noticed some of the things that have transpired. Before the Ayawaso West by-election, allegations were rife that, the register was bloated and we also noticed pictures of ballot papers.”
This was after the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah had described the posture of the EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, as a threat to the commission and to the country’s democracy.
Reacting to this during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt said as an 'arbiter', the EC should not have made such a comment; 'no matter who said it first'.

Kweku Baako speaks to issues with facts which in most instances he is able to provide its' sources and substanciate. Kwesi Pratt, on the contrary speaks from his stomach depending on how much his pay master has offered to pay him. And when he has to be objective, to condemn and shame his paymaster for obvious baseless issues, he tends to be populistic and play the socialist card of hypocrisy loaded with outdated polemics. To glorify the old good Nkrumahist days. Kweku Baako is well read, had grown to be a true democrat, fine mind and honest intellectual. .
I DONT LIKE KWESI PRATT BUT I THINK WHAT HE SAID WAS RIGHT. Likewise, WE CANT BRING A FOREIGNER TO BECOME AN ELECTORAL COMMISSIONER SO I DONT EXPECT THE PRESIDENT TO APPOINT A NDC MAN AS HIS DEFENCE MINISTER HOW POSSIBLE MR BOSSMAN BEING NPP IS NEITHER HERE OR THERE HE IS A GHANAIAN AND CAPABLE. ANY TIME I HERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS I AM SURPRISE BECAUSE DOES THE NDC WANT THE PRESIDENT TO APPOINT MAHAMMA AS CHIEF OF STAFF, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT.
Mr. Pratt, please who made the EC an arbiter??
All those condemning Kwasi Pratt are hypocrites. What kind of hypocrisy is this? Both Kwasi Pratt and Kweku Baako are known CPP members. However, I have lost count of the number of times Kweku Baako has defended almost everthing NPP does, from K4's time till date and you people see nothing wrong with it. But when Kwesi Pratt says something against NPP, and in favour of NDC, you begin to lambaste him and call him names. Who does not Know Dr Bossman is NPP? This is nothing like wolf in sheep clothing. Right from the University of Ghana, everybody knew and still know Bossman Asare is a dies hard NPP member. So Nana Addo should not have appointed him to that position. But he went ahead and appointed him for reasons known to all of us. I support Mr Pratt 100%. If anybody should pass such a comment, it should not come from the EC, more so a top officer. Let's stop the hypocrisy because it is killing derailing our development. You people think NPP will rule forever? Only those who are enjoying the loot with NPP claim all is well in Ghana.
Mr. Pratt, no one has said the NDC is a threat to democracy. He was referring to their POSTURE. In other words their attitude, behaviour, character, etc. Are truthfully saying that that statement is not true? Meanwhile, who made you the 'arbiter'? Every infant in Ghana knows that you are NDC, but chameleon as you are, you are acting as a mole in the CPP. Why did Woyome give you C2000 if you were not NDC? How can you be fair on any issue involving the NDC?
Eih Kwasi Pratt, you have spoken on this before why ressurect it now? When Kwame asked you in which context did the man say that and you realised that he did not say that in a vacuum, out of shame you diverted the issue. Disgraceful man.
What this man is saying sensible and discerning.
Eiiiiii< Kwasi Pratt with his NDC on the agenda against the EC!
So if the matter died and it has in one way or the other come up for discussion, he should hush up because the matter died? Tsuorrr!!!
After this news has died, it seems Massa Kwasi has now been paid to resurrect it. Kwasi, you should be a little current
