President John Mahama has been petitioned to remove the Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson, Jean Mensa.

The petition filed on January 27, also wants Deputy EC Chairs, Samuel Tetteh and Dr Bossman Eric Asare and EC member, Dr Peter Appiahene out of office as well.

The grounds for this petition include a breach of fundamental human rights under Article 42 of the 1992 Constitution.

It also points to constitutional breaches such as incompetence, bias, actions and inactions that undermine public confidence in the impartiality and integrity of the Commission contrary to Articles 23 and 296 of the 1992 constitution.
