Chairperson of the electoral commission, Jean Mensa
The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Jean Mensa, says the commission has updated the voters register for the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the IPAC meeting on October 1, 2024, she said the commission recently cleaned up errors that were found in the register.
She said “As a commission, we have devoted the last few weeks to correct the discrepancies and you will find that the provisional voters register today is different and more accurate than what was exhibited and provided to the parties in August 2024.”
Jean Mensa refuted claims that the EC wants to intentionally disenfranchise some voters.
According to the EC, the IPAC meeting proves the transparency of the electoral process in the upcoming general elections.
The commission mentioned that the purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for political parties to present evidence of the alleged discrepancies found in the Provisional Voter Register (PVR).
The meeting was a result of constant demands for a forensic audit of the voters register by National Democratic Congress.
Jean Mensah described the call for a forensic audit as “premature.”
