The Deputy Spokesperson of the ruling National People’s Party (NPP), Seedy S.K. Njie, has dismissed allegations linking the party to alleged irregularities in the ongoing voter registration exercise, stating that no evidence has been presented to substantiate the claims.
He further addressed reports concerning a woman in Tanji who was allegedly linked to a questionable birth certificate, noting that preliminary findings from an inquiry did not implicate her in any wrongdoing.
“We went there, and the preliminary investigation shows that she is not culpable of any wrongdoing, and we have not been condemned by law for having committed any illegality,” he said.
Njie also cautioned against political parties interfering in each other’s internal arrangements, particularly in relation to the selection and deployment of agents at registration centers.
“No party can deny or suggest to us who should be our agent. You cannot police any political party; you cannot police the IEC. You must observe the full process and abide by the law,” he stated.
He emphasized that the NPP has instructed its members and agents to strictly adhere to electoral guidelines and avoid any conduct that could disrupt the registration process.
“I told our agents they must not enter registration centers, they must not attempt to disrupt the process, and they must not try to dictate outcomes,” he added.
Reaffirming the party’s stance, Njie said the NPP remains committed to operating within the confines of the law and respecting the authority of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
“The instruction of our party is to ensure that we follow the full process and abide by the law,” he said.
