EC’s Reason For No-Show In Parliament

The Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) has explained the reason why its leadership failed to be present in Parliament on Thursday, November 5 to present the roadmap of next month’s election to Members.

In a statement released by the Commission, the notice got to its office late, at a time some Commissioners had travelled outside Accra.

Sitting had to be suspended by Speaker Reverend Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye on Thursday after EC Chair Jean Mensa failed to appear to make her presentation.

But a press release issued by the EC after news broke that its chair is developing a penchant to snub Parliament said it has always been fully “prepare to present its comprehensive report to the Leadership and Honorable Members of the House”.

“In agreement with the Leadership of Parliament, the Commission will present its roadmap to the Honorable Members on Saturday, the 7th of November, 2020,” the release indicated.
