Removing the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, and her deputies over partisan and biased allegations in the lead-up to the 2024 General Elections is a temporary solution to a perennial Ghanaian electoral problem.

This will rob the institution of the quality and institutional memory required to build a truly independent and assertive electoral body.

Everything in Ghana is political.

This is good for the country because politics revolves around the judicious use of scarce state resources.
