The Founder and Leader of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Maame Akua Donkor, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its persistent attacks on Electoral Commission chairperson Jean Mensa.

She emphasized that Jean Mensa has been diligently working to ensure a credible voter registration process for the upcoming 2024 general elections. Despite this, the NDC continues to level unfounded accusations against her.

In a strong warning, Akua Donkor urged NDC members and leaders to refrain from targeting Jean Mensa and instead concentrate on the electoral process, labeling their claims as baseless.

Her remarks came during the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.

“I’m grateful to God that since she [Jean Mensa] became the EC, the NDC has worried her a lot, including taking her to court over the voter register, but they were disgraced. The EC also conducted the exhibition voter registration and presented a credible register, yet they are still pestering her. Don’t you know God brought the EC? So no matter what you do, it won’t succeed.

“I pray she stands the pressure and goes through successfully. The worrying and lying about the EC should cease and allow her to work. You have raised guns and knives to engage in violent acts, yet the NPP did not even take much action against you,” she fumed.

In response to the National Democratic Congress's (NDC) strong criticisms, the Electoral Commission (EC) has denied allegations that it has not addressed discrepancies in the voter register or responded to the party's concerns.

The NDC has been vocal in its accusations against the EC, claiming negligence in rectifying issues with the voter register. However, the EC argues that these claims are merely a political tactic aimed at diverting attention from other matters.
