Nana Ohene Ntow, Senior Campaign Advisor to independent presidential candidate Alan Kyerematen, has urged Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson Jean Mensa to address the concerns of Ghanaians and improve the commission’s performance.
Ohene Ntow’s comments come in response to numerous complaints about the EC’s recent activities, including issues with Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits and errors in data published during the limited voter registration exercise.
The process for vote transfer has also faced significant challenges, raising doubts about the commission’s preparedness for the 2024 elections.
In an interview on Channel One TV on Thursday, June 13, Ohene Ntow encouraged Jean Mensa to listen to the public's grievances, including those from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He urged her to address these concerns and ensure that the EC’s performance meets the expectations of all stakeholders.
“I have heard just too many accusations, especially from the NDC, but sometimes also from the general public, people who are not directly involved in the electioneering process.
“Mrs Jean Mensa is a very personal friend and professional colleague, we’ve worked over the years so when I heard she was going to be the Electoral Commissioner, I thought that was a good idea because this was a woman who has been very deeply involved in the democratic progress and development of Ghana.”
“But it appears that there are few complaints so I would ask her to pay attention to these complaints and then make sure that at the end of the day, people who are judging, and watching your performance will be comfortable and objective about you," he said.
