The youth of Lower Manya Krobo, Kloma Gbi, have welcomed the decision by the Electoral Commission (EC), to exclude the Municipality from the upcoming nationwide District Assembly and Unit Committee Elections<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The EC has explained that the exemption is due to a constitutional provision that allows for elections in a four-year period for assembly members.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”xI5hPcryC3oywtqGovxAzy8ZnLSGaUn2″]Members in the Lower Manya Krobo\u00a0assembly were elected just a year ago and sworn into office barely 10 months ago hence; the exemption.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News,<\/strong> the spokesperson for Kloma Gbi, Hilary Saki Kodji, said they welcomed the EC’s decision since any attempt to change the status quo would have caused problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are most grateful that this decision has been taken and we welcome it because the constitution gives the present assembly a four-year mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n

He complimented the EC\u2019s move, saying, \u201cit would have been unconstitutional to actually dissolve the assembly because they were inducted into office barely 10 months ago. The EC couldn\u2019t have taken any decision better than this and therefore we wholly welcome it.”<\/p>\n

The EC has set Tuesday, March 3, 2015 to hold the District Assembly and Unit Committee elections.<\/p>\n
