Jean Mensa and the EC plunging Ghana into chaos as we prepare for the elections—Divine Nkrumah 

divine one

The Director of Operations of the Progressive People’s Party, Divine Nkrumah, has warned that the Electoral Commission under the leadership of madam Jean Mensa will throw the country into chaos as we prepare for the December 7 general elections.

Divine Nkrumah posited that it has become increasingly clear that if caution isn’t exercised, the EC could push this country into serious chaos during the 2024 elections.

He stated that we may get to the point of no return, hence the need for stakeholders to immediately call the EC to order in order to prevent a terrible situation we will later regret.

He lamented that the EC gave the parties a last-minute invitation to come and receive the final register in soft copies at an engagement that lasted for less than 15 minutes in a manner that was rushed.

Divine Nkrumah said the meeting appeared choreographed and concerns raised over the register were not addressed.

He noted that the EC was reluctant to address the summary breakdown of the final register.

According to him, after waiting for more than 8 hours, the EC Chairperson returned to tell them that no law requires the electoral body to submit the summary breakdown.

‘’ The NDC representatives raised concerns about the absence of a breakdown of the data. Initially, the EC was reluctant to address these concerns but eventually agreed to post the summary breakdown on their website later. Other party representatives also expressed dissatisfaction with the process, insisting that they should receive the summary before leaving.

We waited for hours in the conference room. After more than 8 hours, the EC Chairperson finally returned and stated that no law requires her to provide summary statistics. Essentially, she suggested that we could either accept the hard drives or leave if we were unsatisfied. Her response was infuriating, and it’s alarming that she seems to believe she has no legal obligation to provide summary data. Who is advising her?’’

I’m Scared for Ghana ooo.

When you kneel to pray, remember to pray for the peace of Ghana—especially for the Electoral Commission EC and its leadership under Madam Jean Mensa. It’s becoming increasingly clear that if caution isn’t exercised, the EC could push this country into serious chaos during the 2024 elections, to a point of no return. We all want peace, but that doesn’t mean we should passively sit by and allow the EC to act with disregard for the well-being of the nation. After all, we are not Jean Mensa’s students, for heaven’s sake.

Yesterday, as representatives of political parties, we received a last-minute invitation from the EC to pick up soft copies of the certified Voters Register for the 2024 elections.

The meeting, which began at 4:15 p.m., lasted less than 15 minutes. The EC Chairperson addressed the party reps and the media briefly, and then the register was presented in a manner that felt rushed, with little opportunity for questions or discussion. Everything seemed too carefully choreographed, as though there was a hidden agenda at play—one that could lead to serious repercussions.

The NDC representatives raised concerns about the absence of a breakdown of the data. Initially, the EC was reluctant to address these concerns but eventually agreed to post the summary breakdown on their website later. Other party representatives also expressed dissatisfaction with the process, insisting that they should receive the summary before leaving.

In response, the EC officials excused themselves, saying they needed a few minutes to retrieve the requested information.

We waited for hours in the conference room. After more than 8 hours, the EC Chairperson finally returned and stated that no law requires her to provide a summary statistics. Essentially, she suggested that we could either accept the hard drives or leave if we were unsatisfied. Her response was infuriating, and it’s alarming that she seems to believe she has no legal obligation to provide summary data. Who is advising her?

Even if that’s technically the case, it is completely unacceptable to hand over hard drives with the certified Voters Register without any explanation of what’s on those devices. At the very least, the EC should have provided a clear breakdown—such as the total number of registered voters, regional distributions, and the gender breakdown, among other essential data. Is this too much to ask from a public institution tasked with overseeing elections? The EC Chairperson’s stance is not only unrealistic, but it could also jeopardize the integrity of this election process.

This situation raises serious questions about the transparency and efficiency of the process for distributing the Voters Register to political parties. I sincerely hope that the National Peace Council and other stakeholders are paying close attention to these developments.
