NCD Regional candidate, Fred Yakasa is concerned over continuous delays in counting for the NCD Regional Seat.
He said these are the sentiments of all candidates contesting the top seat in the nation’s capital.
“There have been delays in polling, counting and this continues. It’s irritating and candidates are dismayed,” said Yakasa.
Mr Yakasa said the electoral commission has miserably failed with so many issues surrounding polling and counting.
He said with the date of return of writs nearing, he is not sure if counting for the NCD Regional Seat will be completed or not.
The former city police boss said candidates will not stop the process unnecessarily if things are done according to election laws.
“The electoral commission cannot blame us. We are seeing that things are not right and that is the whole reason,” Mr Yakasa said.
Mr Yakasa further stressed that for NCD Regional, counting is being delayed for more than 2 days. He said this is a waste of time.
“The NCD Election Manager, Kila Ralai continues to be late at the counting rooms. The other day we were told by our scrutineers that he arrived late in the evening.
Their actions continue to be suspicious. More and more evidence are being uncovered and those responsible must be held accountable,” said Yakasa.
Mr Yakasa urged the next Government to prioritize fixing all matters relating the election process.
“Whoever forms Government must look into this concern and ensure all matters like the common roll, including voting and the counting process are improved,” said Mr Yakasa.
He said the 2022 national election has not been safe and fair.
