In continuation of the ongoing debate on the creation of new constituencies, the GNA reproduces below a contribution by Dr Kwadwo Afari Gyan. Electoral Commissioner of Ghana: THE DEBATE ON THE CREATION OF NEW CONSTITUENCIES
Controversy has arisen over the decision of the Electoral Commission (EC) to create 230 constituencies for the 2004 Parliamentary Elections. As a person intimately connected with the review of the existing constituencies, I wish to offer explanations in respect of three aspects of the controversy, namely; the timing of the review, the increase in the number of constituencies and the use of the constituencies for the 2004 elections.
