The posturing of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), Mrs Jean Mensa, does not indicate that she will be neutral in the 2020 polls, former President John Dramani Mahama, has said.
According to the flag bearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mrs Mensa has acted in ways that suggest that representatives of the political parties are a disturbance to the elections management body, a situation he said was unfortunate.
“They need to prove us wrong. We have our doubts that they can be neutral and fair … The current posture and the way they are conducting things makes us doubt that they will be neutral and fair in 2020,” Mr Mahama told Citi FM on Monday, 20 May 2019.
He added: “The EC is not a secret society. It is not somebody’s private closet that needs to be shut, and, [we], not know what is going on there… They should open all the process.
“When the EC starts behaving like the representatives of political parties are a nuisance … then this affects the trust and confidence the people have in the EC – a neutral arbiter.”
Touching on the chair of the Commission, Mr Mahama said: “Her posture doesn’t give confidence that she is going to be neutral in this matter,” he stated.

THE ELECTORAL ***barred word*** WHO BECAME PRESIDENT BY DUBIOUS MEANS IS NOW CRYING AND BARKING LIKE A MAD DOG BECAUSE HE CAN'T GET THINGS DONE BY HIS WAY. CORRUPT AND COMPROMISED EC CHAIR PEOPLE LIKE AFARI GYAN AND CHARLOTTE OSEI ARE NO LONGER RUNNING SUCH A SENSITIVE AND IMPORTANT INSTITUTION TO AWARD INCOMPETENT AND ***barred word*** MAHAMA THE PRESIDENCY. THE NDC FROM ITS FOUNDER RAWLINGS TO MAHAMA HAS NEVER WON ANY FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS IN GHANA AND STAND NO CHANCE WHATEVER LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. DISCERNING GHANAIANS WILL NEVER CAST A VOTE TO ELECT ***barred word***, ***barred word*** AND THUGS TO EVER RULE GHANA AGAIN, PERIOD!
EVERY THIEFMAN ALWAYS SUSPECT ANYBODY AROUND HIM AS A THIEFMAN. NDC IN 2012 EMBARKED ON A MASSIVE FRAUD TO WIN THAT ELECTION. WITH THE HELP OF AFARI GYAN THEY CARRIED OUT THE ELECTION TO A SECOND DAY IN PREDOMINATY NDC ENVIRONMENT TO HEIGHTEN THEIR FRAUD. 2012 ELECTION WAS A LAWLESS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE ONE ELECTORAL SYSTEM FOR ALL. IN FACT NDC IS LAWLESSSS AND AND FRAUDULENTTT. THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO COPE WITH ANYTHING THAT SEEKS TO ADDRESS AND ELIMINATE FRAUD.
hahahahahaha this man always make me feel so worried about his attitude, always behaving like a kid whose toy has been taken away from him, with your monumental corruption and luuuting of state resources we will never allow you near political power to come and luuut again. this man is not serious, look at the kind of politics you and your ndc are doing always insulting people and virtually politicizing everything without one policy, the Ghanaian in the 90s is not the same in 21st century Ghana, we are now wise and alert than ever we want issue base politicking not those stupid1ty you and your babies with sharp teeth are engaging in, kwashia buuuuului. the truth of the matter is most Ghanaians prefer akuffo addo to you so be ready for another resounding victory by the elephant party you will loose potorrrr
I wished the Former Presidents from the NDC would take a cue from Ex-President JA Kufour to learn how to behave like a Stateman. Then, as a Former President, your office makes you automatically a Statesman and therefore your actions must be guarded by pretty lofty decorum beyond Party politics. The unqualified attack on the EC is ssilly and uncalled for especially when it is coming from a Former President out of frustration and lack of ability to engage in intellectual and issue-based discourse.
Mahama tell us just one of your policies.(NDC IS DEAD)
Mahama must be missing Charlotte. JDM, please know that such utterances won't help your cause. If you had performed, Ghanaians wouldn't have rejected you. You lost even under your darling girl.
He is behaving like a serial caller, an ex-president? Folks be mindful of Ofosu Ampoful tape. They have started implementation of that agenda.
Eveen d chim-pan-ziii looking supa incomptent nana addo sef u guys dey respect am. clearly he is d worse president ghana has ever had. check security, sanitation, edkucation, economy.. etc etc
What goes around comes around. You put someone there to do your bidding and now that the person is no more there you are crying. Masa sincerely we are not f0000ls to vote for your create loot and share party. Greedy man like you gave 58% of our bauxite to your brother can you imaging? Please go and enjoy what you have looted.
This kanazoe Ford bribe taker will never talk about any policy he will implement.... Always talking nonse.nse.se.... Give us a break. Your Charllote Osei never declare a single result in the 2016 elections. She only came to announce a final result. NDC is a dead party.
