“My party and fellow leaders have condemned the act of the stealing of the electoral album. Because laws are laws and should be obeyed. I was like Kwame, ‘let a child do this, but you a lawyer who knows all the rules, why are you doing that?’” he said.
He added that he will work hand in hand with the Electoral Commission and other stakeholders to decide the sanctions that will be meted out to Lawyer Adom for his distasteful act.
“I called the District Director of the Electoral Commission, District Command of Police, the Divisional Commander, and the BNI so we can solve the problems that may be arising. Prior to the elections, we gave authority to the Electoral Commission to make their arrangements, and if they are done and something unlawful happens, we will take the necessary steps. We will do just that,” he said.
The chairman, however, clarified that the NPP is a party of peace and unity, so one person’s act of instigating violence should not make the party lose its reputation.
“So it is lawyer Adom who went for the register, that is why the police have arrested him, and it is not the entire party members who are instigating violence. It is only him. He has made his people pick the registers in 5 electoral areas,” he concluded.
