Be transparent, don’t suppress the truth – Prof. Opoku-Agyemang cautions EC

Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to uphold transparency and refrain from suppressing the truth in the lead-up to the December elections.

Prof Opoku-Agyemang noted that the EC is facing challenges in defending its credibility, particularly in light of concerns about missing equipment in its custody.

The former Education Minister stressed that without clarity and reassurance from the commission, doubts will persist among the public, eroding trust in the electoral process.

“So, the electoral commission is struggling to defend its credibility and until the commission tells us that the equipment means nothing, everyone should believe that there are no issues to worry about.

Actions that impoverish and disenfranchise do not necessarily translate into mindedness in people who are angry, hungry and in people who are oppressed.

Electoral Commission, I address you directly
