The President of Togo’s opposition political party, Alliance Nationale pour le Changement (ANC), Mr Jean-Pierre Fabre denied making any statements in relation to a refusal by the Togolese Electoral Commission to provide its Ghanaian counterpart with a copy of its voters register.

EC Boss, Charlotte OseiIt could be recall that, somewhere last week Mr Masseme Esse, who claimed to be an Advisor to Mr Fabre granted an interview to some Ghanaian radio stations and claimed to be speaking for the leader of Togo’s ANC.

In his submissions, he said the ANC was “bemused” by reports that the Togolese Electoral Commission declined to provide its counterpart in Ghana with a copy of its register for verification of the soft copy of the register used by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in its analysis to back calls for a new voters register.

However, Jean-Pierre Fabre in a communique he signed and issued in Lome on January 7, 2016, the ANC said Mr Masseme’s presentation in the Ghanaian media as an Advisor and speaking in their leader’s name was false.

It said, the party was aware Mr Masseme lives and works in Germany and even though he was a supporter of the party, he was not an Advisor and does not occupy any position or place in the ANC.

The statement further stressed that Mr Masseme does not have any right to speak on behalf of the ANC, as a party, let alone in the name of the President on any subject whatsoever.

The ANC therefore condemned his comments and said all comments he might have made were only his personal opinion and not the ANC’s but failed to tell whether the submissions made by Mr Massame were true.
