The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has said he will lead Ghanaians to reject the 2020 general election results should the Electoral Commission (EC) ignore the contribution of stakeholders and conduct the polls the way it wants.
Speaking at a public forum organised by the Coalition of CSOs for Good Governance on whether or not the EC needs to compile a new voters' register for 2020 General Elections, the social commentator raised a lot concerns regarding the EC’s proposal and said the move could plunge the country into a post-election chaos.
Bemoaning the lack of transparency on the part of the electoral body, Mr Pratt Jnr said the timing of the registration as proposed by the EC has the tendency top mar the polls since irregularities are bound recorded across the country.
He said the EC’s justification for the new register did not make sense, saying the EC cannot ignore the inputs of political parties and go ahead to do what it wants under the guise of its autonomy.
Asking Ghanaians to rise against the EC’s way of handling the matter, Mr Pratt noted that the country cannot continue to accept election results replete with irregularities stemmed from the negligence or arrogance of the EC’s topmost bosses. He then warned the Jean Mensah-led EC to work in the interest of all the political parties and not the Akufo-Addo administration.
“If the elections is held in a coni coni way as we are beginning to see, we won’t accept the results,” the veteran journalist said and hastened that the country’s 1992 constitution requires Ghanaians to uphold it.
“Reject imposters, criminals and people who have hanky punky ways of doing things,” he added saying a “hanky panky way of assuming power in this country” must stop and stressed that it is only the citizens that can rise to stop the arrogance of the EC bosses as enshrined in the 1992 constitution.
The Coalition of CSOs for Good Governance has, therefore, announced a demonstration to protest the compilation of a new voters' register in the Northern regional capital, Tamale on Saturday.

Hahahahahahah Mr Kwesi Pratt jnr,I taught u were going to day something right this time ,but u never seems to amazed me .....You are crying cos EC will conduct new voters register??? Go ahead and don't let ur NDC and ur people to ho and register Ex president Mahama said in 2016 that we should give the EC peace of mind to do their work cos they are one of the best EC on the world ...what has changed now ...is it cos the EC boss is now not the one u appointed that is why u guys are doing everything in your power to distract her and her deputies. After the election petition in 2012,the supreme Court order that we need to have new voters register ...that was why AFAC did everything within their power to have a new voters register in 2016 but u guys knowing what u have done u said no..... Even the NDC said their own voters register was blotted and that they had a nre register so what is wrong if we as a country have a new voters register..... Reject the election and Weill bb happy koraaaa.....***barred word*** talk nkoaaaaaaaa
ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh, reject it now because your party wont win, dont even know why sefa kaye brings you to peace fm twice a week representing ndc in disguise, , you and who will reject apart from your party ndc, are you the only people living in Ghana, tell your ndc not to register and dont vote, already naaa you lost over 2 million votes, that's why you are doing these noises to cover your predicting shame. Even your ndc parliamentarians will loose 50 more seats, start crying and stop disturbing our peace. You think we dont see the good things the president is doing, no wonder he said you have an agenda against his government and its true.
Kwesi who do you think you are
Hahaha ***barred word*** argument. What about the results bring rejected because you didn't allow a new register? Everybody has the right to reject the results but no one had authority to stop a winner. Kwesi Pratt so you're saying in the unlikely event of NDC winning the results should be rejected. Kwesi Pratt you're so ***barred word*** an opinion leader. You should keep quiet on such matters. You don't have any authority whatsoever to decide for ghanaians.
NOW TALK IS VERY VERY CHEAP. HOW CAN GHANAIANS REJECT THE RESULTS? DON'T WE HAVE LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY? YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO COURT IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH AN ISSUE, BUT TO CREATE DISORDER, FEAR, PANIC AND CONFUSION, TAKE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE SPARED BY GOD. FOR WHATEVER A MAN SOWS ...................
KWESI SHUT YOUR BIGG MOUTH UP. IF EC HAVE TO SATISFY EVERY PARTY INTEREST, THEN THERE WILL BE OVER 30 INTEREST THE EC WOULD HAVE TO SATISFY. EC HAS TO SATISFY ITS OWN INTEREST TO UPHOLD THE INTEGRITY OF ELECTIONS IN GHANA. THOUGH EC MAY TRY TO SEEK THE COOPERATION OF THE PARTIES IT MUST ALWAYS BE THE PARAMOUNT INTEREST TO WORK OUT THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD ENSURE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. NO ARMED ROBBER WILL EVER BE PLEASED IF THE POLICE BEEF UP SECURITY. THAT SHOULD NOT STOP THE POLICE TO STRENGTHENED ITS NETWORK FOR SECURITY. EVERY PARTY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY LACUNA IN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM TO COMMIT FRAUD. A LOOSING PARTY IN ANY ELECTION WILL WISH TO HAVE A LACUNA EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT HAVE THE MONOPOLY TO COMMIT FRAUD. A LOOSING PARTY MAY WISH FOR LACUNA FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST REASON, A LOSING PARTY ALWAYS INVEST HEAVILY IN FRAUD WITH THE HOPE TO CHEAT AND WIN. IF IT SUCCEED TO WIN IT BECOMES OK FOR THEM. SECOND REASON, LOOSING PARTY WISH FOR LACUNA IN ORDER TO COMMIT FRAUD. IF IT LOSES IT DRAWS THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC TO THE LACUNA AND ACCUSE THE WINNER AS EXPLOITING THE LACUNA TO WIN. SO LACUNA ALWAYS BECOME A WIN WIN STRATEGY AT EVERY SIDE FOR LOSERS. LACUNA IS HOWEVER DAMAGING TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTORAL BODY. IT IS ALWAYS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE RULING PARTY. FOR EC TO UPHOLD ITS INTEGRITY AND THE RULING PARTY TO AVOID ANY EMBARRASSMENT THE TWO INSTITUTIONS MUST ALWAYS ENSURE TO REMOVE ANY LACUNA IN AN ELECTION. THE LOOSING PARTIES MAY OPPOSE IT AS IT AGAINST THEIR INTEREST BUT EC AND GOVERNING PARTY SHOULD NEVER RELENT.
THEY CAN REJECT THE RESULTS AS THEY HAVE ALREADY INDICATED THAT IF THEY DON'T WIN. EITHER A WIN OR THE ELECTION RESULTS IS DEMONISED.
Does this Pratt have any sense in his head? What are laws for? If you think something is wrong why can't you go through the right process but rather disturb the peace the country is enjoying? Very a dangerous character who thinks he smarter than everyone in Ghana. He wants NDC to come back to power so he can get his portion of the "create, loot, and share"
Does it mean you will not register? Does it mean you won’t vote? If the NDC wins does it mean you won’t accept the results?
