According to him, the Commission failed to educate electorates on what was required of them if they wanted to endorse flagbearers for the December polls.
“...It is the duty of the NCCE to have educated the people on how to subscribe so for us that fault does not lie on political parties but the NCCE, which Charlotte Osei was the former boss.

“So if those common mistakes are happening then it means that the NCCE didn’t do a good job because if they had done a good job, I don’t think we would have these common errors coming from the voter,” he said.
But the Communications Director of the NCCE, Joyce Afutu has insisted that her outfit has “nothing to do with nomination of candidates; it is the work of the Electoral Commission.”
“We have done education several times over the years but there are people who are recalcitrant and will go ahead to double vote or go against the law. That cannot be blamed on us,” she said at the opening of a three-day workshop on data journalism for some selected media personnel organized by the EIB Network, Penplusytes and the US Embassy in Accra Thursday.
“He [Hassan Ayariga] was also supposed to have seen when the people subscribe to his forms and that is the criminal aspect the EC has taken him on. He should have done that,” she added.
