Seedy S.K. Njie, the Deputy Spokesperson of the ruling National People’s Party (NPP), has brushed aside allegations linking the party to irregularities in the ongoing voter registration exercise, saying there is no evidence to back the claims.
He also addressed a separate matter involving reports of a woman in Tanji who was said to be connected to a questionable birth certificate. According to Njie, early findings from an inquiry did not find her responsible for any wrongdoing.
“We went there and, from what the preliminary investigation shows, she has done nothing wrong. Also, no court or legal authority has found us guilty of any illegal act,” he said.
Njie further cautioned political parties against meddling in each other’s internal affairs, especially when it comes to selecting and assigning agents at registration centres.
“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 added that the NPP has made its position clear to members and agents, urging them to respect electoral guidelines and avoid any actions that could disrupt the registration process.
“Our agents have been told not to enter registration centres, not to interfere with the process, and not to attempt to influence outcomes,” he explained.
Reiterating the party’s stance, Njie said the NPP remains committed to operating within 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.
