The Electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensa, has once again dismissed the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s request for a forensic audit of the 2024 provisional voters register.
During the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, she reaffirmed the Electoral Commission’s (EC) constitutional mandate and history of organizing credible elections.
Citing Article 45 (a) of the 1992 Constitution, Jean Mensa called on all stakeholders to have confidence in the Commission’s ability to fulfill its responsibilities.
“As a body mandated by Article 45 (a) of the 1992 Constitution to compile the register of voters and to revise it as such periods as determined by law, we urge you all to trust us to perform our functions as enshrined in the constitution.
“The commission has a track record and is globally respected for delivering free, fair, credible and transparent elections and electoral processes and this includes the compilation of the provisional voters register.
“Our staff are well trained, and have the capacity and the competencies as well as the skills to undertake the task of producing the final and credible voters register. We certainly do not require external assistance in our line of work,” she stated.
