The Minority is continuing its onslaught on the Electoral Commission (EC) and its newly proposed Constitutional Instrument (CI).

In other words, the NDC had been completely excluded from the processes of preparing such an important CI to Parliament.*

He says a recent national security strategy document should guide the EC to tarry slowly before it plunges the country into violence.
