Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu has asked the EC Chairperson Jean Mensa to buck up or face a vote of no confidence.
According to the Minority leader, the EC boss is supervising a regime which has suffered a decline in public confidence. He further criticized her handling of challenges associated with the EC’s data Centre, registration of new persons who turn 18 and the implementation of ROPAA.
Haruna Iddrisu made these remarks during contributions to a statement on the implementation of ROPAA on the floor of parliament.
“The Electoral Commissioner must up her game or else we will call for her head… My faith in the Electoral Commission is waning,†he warned.
The Peoples Representation Amendment Act known as ROPAA is the law passed to allow Ghanaian citizens living abroad to vote in general elections.
Because government support the EC financially in excess of GHc 350 million, Mr. Iddrissu insisted that the commission does not have an excuse for underperforming.
“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.â€
“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,†Mr. Iddrisu said.
