Ghana Parliament Rejects "Change In Election Date" by PetmaxFlame: 1:08am On Jul 23, 2016
A report from Accra said on Friday that the Ghana’s parliament failed on Thursday evening to secure the two-third majority needed to change the presidential election date from December 7 to November 7.

An unnamed source in parliament said that the Electoral Commission wanted to bring the vote forward to allow for a second round to be held if necessary and still have time for a smooth transition before January 7, when a new government must be sworn in.

The source said that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) voted against the measure, arguing it would reduce the time available to the commission to organise the election.

Meanwhile, Mike Oquaye, the Legal Secretary National Democratic Congress (NDC), said that the idea for a November 7 election is good and many politicians had worked hard on it.
