Jean Mensa doesn’t hate anyone – Akua Donkor

The presidential candidate of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) Akua Donkor, has mounted a spirited defence for the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa.

Akua Donkor said the EC boss is not pursuing personal interests with her actions on the electoral process, adding she doesn’t hate anyone.

In an interview, Madam Donkor noted that Mrs Mensa is guided and committed to upholding electoral laws in the country.

“Jean Mensa doesn’t hate anyone, but you have to do what is required of you to avoid any issues with her.

“The EC is like Ghana’s God because it is the Commission that determines who qualifies to contest elections,” she told Accra-based Kasapa FM.

She has, therefore, admonished all political parties to comply with the requirements and rules of the electoral process.

“God gave us Jean Mensa, so if the Electoral Commission asks me to do something, that is exactly what I will do. Whoever speaks ill of Jean Mensa will not be forgiven by God,” she noted.

Madam Donkor’s comment follows the disqualification of 11 presidential candidates ahead of the 2024 election.

This was after the EC conducted a detailed examination of the nomination forms submitted by the candidates to ensure compliance with the legal requirements.

Despite the EC’s assurance to refund their filing fees, some of the candidates have initiated legal action against the Commission while others have vowed to do the same.
