THE Ghana Mine Worker's Union (GMWU) has called on the Electoral Commission to ensure a free, transparent and fair election so the outcome will be accepted by the stakehold­ers involved.

As the "umpire and lead actor" in the electoral process, the GWMU asked EC be professional and impartial, and work within the mandate allowed it by the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana.

The General Secretary of the GWMU, Mr Abdul- Moomin Gbana, who stated this in Accra yesterday said the EC should desist from all acts including public pronounce­ments that had the tendency to mar the credibility of the elections and its eventual outcome.

He was speaking at the GMWU of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) National Executive Council second half-year meeting.
