The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, has echoed the commission does not have the power to elect presidents in the country. According to her, the authority to elect Ghana’s next president rests solely with the citizens.
Addressing a press briefing in Accra, Jean Mensa emphasized that the EC does not determine the outcome of elections.
She reiterated that the power to choose the president lies exclusively in the hands of Ghanaians.
“…We as a commission do not have the power to determine who wins elections. It is not in our control to determine the outcome of the election. The power indeed lies with the good people of our dear country. It is only the citizens and the citizens alone who can determine who should lead them, not the EC. It is the candidate who is given the power to lead them by the citizens who will be declared president of the Republic of Ghana by the EC come the 7th of December 2024,” she stated.
