The Eastern Regional Secretariat of the has raised serious concerns over what it describes as "Karma has caught up with Jean Mensa, the chair of the Electoral Commission." This statement points to what it perceives as a pattern of biased decisions, referencing previous comments by Jean Mensa in 2020 when she advised the to challenge the declarations of returning officers in constituencies that favoured the National Patriotic Party in court.
The party argues that Jean Mensa is contradicting herself by suggesting that in some areas, returning officers' declarations made under duress should not be upheld.
The Secretariat alleges that Jean Mensa has consistently worked in favour of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), even amid the commission's controversial decisions during the recent elections. "Upon her assumption as EC chair, she has been doing the bidding of the NPP, and jointly suffering their most humiliating defeat, she is stubbornly pushing her diabolic plan to secure additional seats for the NPP", the statement read.
These accusations are based on several incidents they believe demonstrate Jean Mensa's bias and lack of integrity in ensuring free and fair elections.
