Time is running out for the Electoral Commission to lay before parliament a legislative instrument for the creation of new constituencies.The EC has announced that 45 new constituencies will be created following the creation of some 45 districts by government.Speaking at a day’s workshop for political parties in Accra, the EC’s Deputy Chairman, Sarfo Kantanka said the Commission is working hard to lay before parliament, the legislative instrument for the new constituencies.The workshop funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFIP) was to educate political parties on the electoral processes to be employed for the December polls.Although the EC was expecting about 38 representatives from the various political parties at the training, less than 10 party representatives turned up.A representative of DFIP, Henry Donalty noted the UK government was supporting Ghana with 17 million Ghana cedis for the upcoming elections.The Electoral Commission is expected to receive 9 million Ghana cedis from the total amount with the remaining amount going to support the efforts of the Police and other civil society organizations towards the conduct of a peaceful election in December.The 17 million Ghana cedi support is the second of its kind for the EC after a 3.5 million euro support from the European Union last month.
