NDC Plots Removal of EC Chairperson

The NDC are plotting the removal of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensah.
Even before John Mahama takes office as President on January 7, 2025, his special aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has given signs of what lies ahead of the EC boss by calling for her resignation.

Joyce Bawa, a niece of the President-elect, claims Mrs Mensah is incompetent and does not deserve to remain in office.

Speaking on GHOne TV, Mrs Mogtari expressed surprise that Mrs Mensa has not resigned after the election declaration, considering the series of issues that plagued the Commission. “I would have thought that she [Jean Mensa] would resign after the declaration. I don’t understand. But genuinely, considering the performance of the current Electoral Commission, what do you expect?

From a very professional standpoint, if we genuinely want to move forward and start a new chapter with an independent EC, as the Constitution intended, let’s advertise the position, vet the candidates, and have Parliament handle the process. This will help remove the partisan outlook of the EC,” she said.
