Electoral Commissioner Jean Mensa has indicated that the ongoing impasse in the Ablekuma North constituency will be resolved soon.
She gave the assurance during a meeting on Wednesday with the leadership of political parties at the Electoral Commission’s (EC) headquarters in Accra.
“I’d like to just place a record that that collation was done in the presence of agents… So it was done on your blind side. However, as I mentioned, we will have an in-depth meeting to discuss it.”
The meeting, held on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, aimed to promote collaboration and address electoral concerns.
It allowed the EC and political parties to have a constructive dialogue.
She stated that previous meetings held during the heat of the 2024 elections were tense, but she is pleased with the current atmosphere, which she describes as more conducive to productive discussions.
“And since the elections of 2024, we have not had the opportunity to meet. So we thought it was important to re-gather, to reconvene, and to rekindle the spirit of cooperation as we chart the way forward for the future elections in this country. I’m sure you all agree with me that the outcome of the 2024 general elections is a confirmation and an affirmation that our processes and our systems work,” she added.
“It is a confirmation that elections are indeed won or lost at the polling station, and therefore it is important for political parties to also own what happens at the polling stations. It is also a confirmation that the Electoral Commission of Ghana, can be trusted to conduct and undertake free, fair, transparent, and credible elections, year after year.”
