Former President John Dramani Mahama has taken Ghana’s electoral commissioner Mrs. Jean Mensa to the cleaners.
He has described her and her other commissioners as hostile towards the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
This was captured in a Facebook post he shared on the Nigeria general elections slated for Saturday, February 25, 2023.
Mr. Mahama noted that the candidates contesting in the elections in Nigeria have all expressed confidence in the EC.
He said he was hoping Ghana’s electoral body will inspire the same level of confidence in all its stakeholders as seen in Nigeria.
“Regrettably, I am not hopeful this will happen when we have an EC that has blatantly spurned all efforts by the National Peace Council to host a meeting between the Commission and the two major political parties, the NDC and NPP,” he wrote.

One thing that has struck me in my pre-election mission in Nigeria for the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) is the confidence all the candidates and parties have expressed in the Independent Electoral Commission.
They all testify that INEC has listened and taken their concerns on board.
Unfortunately, I can’t say same for my Electoral Commission (EC), which was once among the best election management agencies in the world.
The hostility of the Chairperson of the EC and her other Commissioners to one political party is legendary.
How I wish our own EC can inspire the same level of confidence in all its stakeholders.
Regrettably, I am not hopeful this will happen when we have an EC that has blatantly spurned all efforts by the National Peace Council to host a meeting between the Commission and the two major political parties, the NDC and NPP.
