The Member of Parliament for the Adentan Constituency, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah seems to have cast a spell on the NDC’s efforts of going to court in the wake of the brouhaha surrounding the new voters’ register.

Some political pundits have urged the opposition National Democratic Congress to seek legal redress if they are not happy with a decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) to compile a new voters’ register.

However, even before the party even makes up its mind of going to court, the Adentan MP says if they go, ‘they will lose’.

“The NDC can go to court and even that they will be sacked because they have no locus standing. . . the EC is doing what it has been legally mandated to do and they have all the right to compile a new voters’ register; so what’s their argument,” he queried while contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo’.
