Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has expressed satisfaction with the work of Ghana’s elections management body, the Electoral Commission (EC) under the leadership of the current chair Mrs Jean Mensa.
Mr Kufuor commended the Commission for, among other things, taking steps to explain its activities and decisions to Ghanaians, a situation he believed would further enhance the democratic credentials of Ghana.
He further urged the Commissioners to be firm and impartial and also not allow political parties to push them around.
The former Ghanaian leader made these pronouncements when Mrs Mensa and her deputy commissioners paid a courtesy call on him in Accra on Thursday July 4.
“I feel confident that the commission is being steered on an even path because your commission is the pivot around which the entire political system must revolve,” Mr Kufuor said.
He added : “Wherever there is power, there is tension, everybody wants to be there to manage the power and so they will be pushing and all of that. It should be for the referee to show firmness, impartiality and also have the focus.
“I am very impressed with the efforts you are making to reach out to explain things without losing your balance.”

Jean Mensah has been planted by your gang to rig the election in thier favour, pea-brain creature Kufour keep your ***barred word*** mouth shut.
KUFUOR PE HWE.......LOL
Every observer with a clear motive will appreciate the work of the current EC chair. If former President Kufuor, a respected global elder, appreciates the works of Lady Jean then those who take delight in fighting every course of action she takes should reconsider their stance.
I said it before and shall continue saying it every now and then, that the EC is doing a fantastic job and if President Kufour is saying the same, then I feel proudly justified. It is also indicative of the EC's good performance when NDC is uncomfortable about not having her manipulative and deceitful ways.
IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE GRASS WILL ALWAYS DANCE TO THE BEAT OF THE FLOWING RIVER THAT PASSES THROUGH THAT GRASS.
