Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of being hostile towards the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr. Mahama opined that the hostility from the EC against the NDC has been legendary.
This was contained in a post he shared on his Facebook page.
He was comparing Ghana’s electoral body to that of Nigeria.
According to him, Nigerian Independent Electoral Commission has managed to inspire confidence in all stakeholders going into their general elections.
He wished Ghana’s EC could do the same but added that the EC in Ghana 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”.
His post read “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”.
