Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs. Jean Mensa, has said that the December 7 general election was free, fair, credible, and transparent.
She made this known during the official declaration of the presidential results at the National Collation Centre in Accra.
Mrs. Mensa expressed her pride in the EC’s ability to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsiveness throughout the electoral process.
“We have conducted elections that are credible, free, fair, transparent, and peaceful. Elections that have ensured that the will of the people are expressed at the polls,” she stated.
The EC Chairperson also highlighted the significance of voter participation, noting that every vote is counted in the election process.
“These elections have ensured that every vote counts. As a country, we take pride in the fact that our electoral processes initiated since 1992 uphold and guarantee the voter’s choice,” Mensa emphasised.
Mensa’s remarks came after a period of intense scrutiny, with many Ghanaians and international observers closely monitoring the electoral process.
The EC’s successful management of the election is seen as a key milestone for Ghana’s democratic development, further solidifying the country’s reputation as a model of democratic governance in Africa.
