"Exploitation of incumbency continues ..... NDC hijacks state organs..... NCCE director doubles as NDC returning officer, says the Free Press in a front page banner. The Free Press says despite official denials and protests, the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE), operates like an integral part of the ruling NDC in the field, violating the constitution that created it. According to the paper, it has been firmly established that during elections and at NDC functions, NCCE officials are always very much in evidence playing partisan NDC roles alongside similar organisations such as the mobisquad, the National Council on Women and Development and other shadowy politico-state organs. The Free Press says the NCCE involvement in NDC partisan affairs was unmasked when Mr. E.K. Antwi, a district director of the Commission, openly supervised the NDC constituency elections at Ejura in the Ashanti Region.
