Mr. Theophilus Aidoo-Mensah, District Chief Executive for Gomoa West, has appealed to critics of the Electoral Commission (EC), to allow the body to discharge its constitutionally mandated duties freely.

He said the criticism against the EC’s decision to create 45 new constituencies based on the result of the 2010 Population and Housing Census was most unfortunate.

Mr. Aidoo-Mensah was addressing supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Gomoa Nkoransa at the weekend.

The DCE said that he was surprised that EC, which had been hailed by Ghanaians and the international community for organizing successful election in Ghana since 1992, was been accused by some Ghanaians.

Mr. Aidoo-Mensah said the creation of new districts and constituencies would enhance development, and appealed to those who were basing their disparagement to the EC decision on time constraint to reconsider their position.

Mr. Aidoo-Mensah appealed to NDC supporters to exercise patience to enable the government to address challenges.

Mr. Francis Kojo Arthur, Member of Parliament for the area, called for a more effective and elaborates way of transfer of power from incumbent government to in-coming administration.

The MP appealed to party supporters to propagate the messages of the achievements of the government in their campaigns, instead of insulting their political opponents.

He said the government had implemented enough projects to woo Ghanaians to retain the NDC in power in Election 2012.
