Nobles Forum wants amendment to Electoral Laws

The West Africa Nobles Forum is a non-governmental religious and non-profit making organisation established in October 2003. The over 1000 members of the forum include legal luminaries, politicians, research fellows, technocrats, medical giants and professionals. It is a sub-regional think tank-fashioned after the Philosophical Society of America.

The Forum also noted that the victory of the President, John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress was not doubted considering the numerous developmental and infrastructural projects the Atta Mills and Mahama NDC-led administration executed throughout the country.

The Forum acknowledged President Mahama’s performance in the last four months as president following the demise of the late President, John Evans Atta Mills

They described the election as free, fair and transparent despite pockets of incidents and breakdown of verification machines at some polling stations.

The Forum congratulated the President and parliamentary candidates, their supporters, the Electoral Commission, security agencies, local observers and the citizens for the peaceful elections.

They appealed to the aggrieved parties to use the appropriate judicial mechanisms provided by the Constitution to address their grievances instead of resorting to violence and lawlessness.
