The Founder and leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Akwasi Addai Odike has shockingly revealed that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa is just repeating the same mistakes that led to the shameful dismissal of her predecessor, Charlotte Osei.
Speaking on Kumasi-based Angel FM, the outspoken Flagbearer of UPP accused that the electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensa of being manipulated by the government to do its bidding under dangerous circumstances with a questionable new voters register, “walking in the same mistakes Madam Charlotte Osei made”.
He retorted;
“The concentration of the whole world is on the fight against COVID-19; the world is not normal anymore, economies are shaking so if we do not get a well-grounded footing and we rush into this election haphazardly and anything triggers, Ghana would be doomed. I appeal to the Electoral Commission and the government of the day to not rush us into the election, until normal times are restored”.
It will be recalled that President Akufo-Addo removed Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Mr. Amadu Sulley and Ms. Georgina Opoku Amankwah, from office with immediate effect, after the Committee set up by the then Chief Justice, Justice Sophia Akuffo, pursuant to Article 146(4) of the Constitution, to investigate separate complaints brought against the three persons by Ghanaian citizens, recommended their removal from office on June 28, 2018.
