The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said it will not back down on its opposition to the appointment of Jean Adukwei Mensa as the new chairperson of the Electoral Commission.
This follows the swearing in of the former Executive Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) Jean Mensa, as new EC chair by President Akufo-Addo, together with two deputies, Samuel Tettey and Dr. Eric Asare Bossman and Ms. Adwoa Asuama Abrefa as a Member of the Commission.
The swearing in took place after the Supreme Court dismissed an injunction suit by a Ghanaian citizen, Fafali Nyonatorto, who sought to stop the President from continuing with the process of appointing a new Electoral Commission Chair.
The NDC threatened to stage a demonstration after Charlotte Osei was removed from office together with her two deputies on June 28 for stated misbehaviour and incompetence.
The demonstration was suspended following the demise of Former Vice President, Mr Amissah-Arthur.
National Organizer of the NDC, Kofi Adams told Citi Newsthe party will continue to point out the flaws in the process.
“Everything is wrong about the nomination, the council of state approval of it and the swearing-in. As NDC and as a political party we will continue to rise to everything that is wrong about this process. Democracy does not end because we have sworn in, we will continue to raise the issue to let the whole world know the behaviour of President Akufo- Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP),” he said.

Please yourselves
GO BURN THE SEA IF YOU ARE AGAINST THE NEW EC BOSS. WE HOPE ALSO THAT FOR YOUR HATRED FOR THE NEW EC AND HER TEAM, YOU WILL AS WELL BOYCOTT ALL ELECTIONS THAT THEY WILL HOLD IN THE COUNTRY. PROMISE GHANAIANS ON THAT, OR YOU WILL EVER REMAIN TO BE MERE NOISE MAKERS, WHICH YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.
Suit yourselves and take your time whiles at it. The country is not waiting for you. We have a nation to develop. No time for your pettiness.
KOFI ADAMU, YOU REMOVED 'P' FROM NDC BECAUSE YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW. NOW DO BEHAVE, OR GHANAIANS WILL PUNISH YOUR PARTY FOR GOING CONTRARY TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Kofi Adams, you and who are against the nomination of the new EC Chair. Take note that the country Ghana does not belong to the NDC. You are only a party within the country and therefore not bigger than it. Charlotte Osei was the EC Chair yet Ghanaians voted massively for the NPP because of their juicy message devoid of 'babies with sharp teeth and tongue'. If I were you, I will channel all my energies into resourcing the grassroots since they are on the ground than jumping from radio station to radio station granting interviews in the comfort of your home in Accra. Job dey ground!!!!!
