A member of the Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party has condemned attempts by the party to stall the electoral process.According to B.J Da Rocha the action taken by the party against the EC is neither in the interest of the nation nor the credibility of the NPP.Party Chairman Peter Mac Manu, and counsel Atta Akyia had earlier filed two writs to put an injunction on the Tain election and to stop the EC chairman from declaring the results of the December 28 runoff.Mr. Da Rocha said the "action is wrong and must be abandoned."He told Joy News on Friday, the constitution must be allowed to play out without any interference.He intimated there are provisions within the constitution which allows for the party to seek redress of all their grievances, adding the process must be allowed to go on.Even though he is a member of the National Executive Council of the party, Mr. Da Rocha said he is not aware of the legal action taken by the party.His comments is in agreement with the New Year’s message sent by President JA kufuor on Friday asking the two political parties contesting the runoff to respect the authority of the EC.Story by Nathan Gadugah
