Ibn Chambas expresses confidence in EC to deliver free, fair elections
Most Ghanaians have questioned the EC’s ability to organise an election devoid of issues. This is especially after all the issues raised during the special voting exercise.

He explained that the EC can only deliver a free and fair election if the general public cooperates with the electoral body.
“It is good that it[challenges] came up early enough. We still have time between now and election day which is December 7 so let us allow institutions to work.”

“So far all the challenges that have come up have been resolved satisfactorily to the political parties and it is important that I emphasize this because they are the ones in the competition and the Electoral Commission is determined to work in a manner such that there is full consultation with political parties in whatever solutions it comes up to problems that arise.”
However, the Chairperson of ECOWAS Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has charged Ghanaians to choose peace, since a country without peace will not develop.
“I can tell you that if there is violence during the elections and it spills over to the communities, there is a likelihood that a lot of people will get hurt, some people will die, properties will be destroyed, and when that starts people take advantage of the situation and it spreads beyond control. That is why we want to make sure Ghana maintains its good reputation.”
They were both speaking on the sidelines of the Women’s Situation Room Cocktail with the chair of the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS), Her Excellency Johnson.
