According to him, although the EC is independent, it is crucial for the election management body to ensure a transparent process free from any allegations of rigging.
"The Electoral Commission was established for Ghanaians, you cannot be the Electoral Commissioner forever, you will certainly leave so do what is right."
"Declare the rightful outcome , don't add or subtract to favour anybody," he added.
He was addressing stakeholders during a durbar to swear-in the newly enstooled Chief of Nsawam, Nana Kwamena Ansah.
