The Electoral Commission (EC) has been hit with another suit by a group of Ghanaians living in U.S.A over the implementation of the Representation of the People Amendment Act (ROPAA), Act 699. ROPAA was passed to allow Ghanaians living abroad to register and vote in elections held in Ghana. The applicants are members of the Progressive Alliance Movement (PAM). The suit filled at the High Court of Justice, Human Rights Division in Accra, seeks the immediate implementation of ROPAA. Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will be endorsed as the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP) on Saturday when the party heads to congress after no challenger emerged to contest her at close of nomination on Thursday. The party is expected to elect its national executives and flagbearer at the congress after concluding its regional elections. Nana Konadu broke away from the NDC after she was defeated at the party's congress in 2011 against the late Prof. Evans Attah Mills. Workers of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) have ended their relationship with their mother union, the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU) over labour related issues. At a press conference in Accra, the Chairman of the Supreme Consultative Council of COCOBOD, Alhaji Idriss Alhassan, accused the ICU and the General Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU) of failing to protect the welfare of COCOBOD workers. British National Arthur Simpson-Kent has admitted killing his partner, former EastEnders actress Sian Blake and their two children. Arthur Simpson-Kent's lawyer told the Old Bailey the jury would be told this at his trial in October. He is yet to enter a formal plea. The British national was arrested in Ghana after fleeing from the UK as a result of an alleged murder of his girlfriend and two children and burying the bodies of the victims in a shallow grave in the garden behind their apartment at Erith in London. He later submitted himself voluntarily to be sent to the United Kingdom for trial.
