Political historian and KNUST lecturer Professor Samuel Adu-Gyamfi has said it was not needed for Electoral Commission Chairperson Mrs. Jean Mensa to tell political parties to accept defeat.

Professor Adu-Gyamfi thinks her comment was unnecessary.
“Surely, there will be a winner and surely, there will be losers. And so we all call on our contestants to accept the outcome of the elections” chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa told lawmakers during a presentation of the democracy Cup.
But Prof Adu-Gyamfi thinks otherwise.
“The EC Chairperson ought not to have made that comment since, they are supposed to ensure that the elections are conducted in a free and fair manner and that should be the focus.
Telling political parties to accept defeat is too premature” Prof Adugyamfi told host of GhanAkoma, Sir John on Akoma FM, on July 22.
