<p>According to the Minority, public confidence in the EC has waned since Madam Jean Mensa was appointed Electoral Commissioner. </p>

<p>Contributing to a statement on the implementation of ROPAA, Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, said the EC Chair has poorly handled certain important issues.</p>

<p>He further criticised the EC’s data Centre, registration of new persons who turn 18 and the implementation of ROPAA.</p>

<p>The Peoples Representation Amendment Act known as ROPAA is the law passed to allow Ghanaian citizens living abroad to vote in general elections.</p>

<p><em>“The Electoral Commissioner must up her game or else we will call for her head… My faith in the Electoral Commission is waning,” </em>Mr. Iddrisu said.</p>

<p>According to him, the EC is well financed by the government and so cannot give any excuse for not adequately delivering.</p>

<p><em>“Mr. Speaker, they don’t have any challenges. That is why I am saying that she must up her game. The date system of the Electoral Commission cannot even conduct district assembly elections.”</em></p>

<p><em>“We should even have an Electoral Commission which makes it mandatory that on daily basis, Ghanaians can walk to them, when they attain 18, to register for the purpose of voting,” </em>the Minority Leader added.</p>

<p>The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been strong critics of the EC Chair since she was appointed to the post.</p>

<p>Addressing journalists last year, the NDC said Madam Jean Mensa is unfit to be EC Chair, insisting she has strong ties with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).</p>

<p>The party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, also described the appointment as “shocking”, while accusing President Akufo-Addo of appointing a politically biased person to head the EC.</p>
