“We have an election committee, led by Mr Peter Marfo, who are doing a good job. They are free handedly conducting the election. I’m just doing what all the aspirants are doing and nothing else. Everything any aspirant is doing is the same thing I’m doing.
“Before the court ruling, the Arbitration Committee also set the rules and the Election Committee will be guided by the constitution.
“My only role now is that the administration will ensure we get the finances to conduct the election. Besides, without a running team, there will be huge vacuum and MUSIGA’s constitution doesn’t allow that”, he said.
In March this year, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) announced that the outfit would be going to the polls on Tuesday, August 8, 2023.
The date was proposed by NEC for the national and regional elections after almost four years of court injunctions, postponements and internal rifts.
In a press release signed by Bessa Simons, the NEC decided at an emergency meeting to ratify the roadmap proposed by the election committee.
