Former President John Mahama
Kofi Adams has joined the water
muddying project of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after lending
support to the creation of Oti Region. His decision is perhaps driven by his
quest for a foothold in the newly created region. He is eyeing a parliamentary
seat in the new region because many members of his ethnic group are domiciled
in this part of the former Volta Region.
Now that the Oti Region has
come into being, it is time for mischievous politics, his stock-in-trade and by
extension his party’s.
He has given a wobbly reason
for the ouster of Charlotte Osei from her position as Chairperson of the Electoral
Commission (EC). His reason does not make sense at all, anyway; the premises do
not support the conclusion.
According to him, the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) facilitated the dismissal of Charlotte because of an
apprehension that the lady knows how the last elections were rigged in favour
of President Akufo-Addo’s party.
If Charlotte as Chairperson of
the EC and appointed by an NDC President could not be smart enough to stem a
rigging process then she was incompetent and deserved what befell her.
We are unable to fathom the
obstacle preventing the NDC from accepting the results of the last elections at
this time. If after commissioning a project headed by a respectable academic to
undertake a study into what accounted for the poor showing of the party at the
polls former President John Mahama and the likes of Kofi Adams think rigging
deprived them of power then they are doomed. The ghosts of the last elections
will continue to haunt and torment them.
One sure way of further
electoral defeats for the NDC is their refusal to identify the right factors
which led to their losing power. Consoling themselves is not a bad idea because
it is an important ingredient for the healing process after the devastating
results from the last elections. Not so however when such consolation is shrouded
in lies.
Whatever happened to the report
of the Kwesi Botchwey study can best be addressed by the former president and
now Kofi Adams. Strangely, the rigging factor is a recent reference and makes
us feel the party is befuddled.
The logic cannot stand on its
feet. Charlotte is in a better position to expose the so-called NPP rigging
module now that she is no longer the Chairperson of the EC not when her hubris
was at its zenith.
That is NDC logic. So she is closer to the NDC than, of course, the NPP; we ask that the former encourage her to spill the beans immediately. We are sure the NPP would have the last laugh when such venture is embarked upon.
