I have only met her once. I don\u2019t have any malice in my heart or in my mind towards her. All that we have wanted is to ensure that my rights and the rights of everybody has been recognized and protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cPPP since 2012 have been advocating for the strengthening of the Electoral Commission and have put in place recommendations on paper even after the 2012 elections&#8230;that it will be able to apply the political parties\u2019 law evenly across board without fear or favour to anybody and that has been our position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Nduom went to court<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Papa Kwesi Nduom told host Umaru Sanda Amadu that his party was hesitant in going to court to seek redress on the matter and therefore called for a meeting to amicably address the matter but the Electoral Commissioner was not ready to change the commission\u2019s stance and dared all the aggrieved parties to go to court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just that they will give me a hearing, but they will give me the opportunity to make amends, to alter whatever it is that they deemed is in error. We went there with the mind that they will indeed grant us that but it was quite apparent that after just a few minutes, what they were seeking to do was to try and see if they could even find some more errors. After about two or three minutes what the commissioner said had made her points and she made the recommendation to the commission and so it will take the commission to reverse the decision&#8230; then the Commission and deputy commissioner got up and said the discussions were over,\u201d Nduom noted.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Nduom insisted that the EC was not fair to the PPP because it allowed other political parties to make corrections on their nomination forms but did not give them the same opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy this selective administration of the rules, why? I don\u2019t want to have a quarrel with anybody, this is all about democracy and democracy when it works well, it is about development and prosperity.
