The Electoral Commission (EC) says some actions of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are gradually becoming a cause to worry for the peace and stability in the country.<\/p>\n

The NDC has in the past days lashed out at the EC describing as distasteful, some actions of the Chairperson of the Commission over the upcoming Limited Voter Registration exercise.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has stated that the posturing of the EC Chair, Jean Mensa, is fast becoming a threat to the commission and to the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chairperson at the EC, Dr. Bossman Asare who will not take lightly to the comments from the NDC is rather of view that, the schemes of the party are having dire consequences on Ghana\u2019s democracy insisting that the Jean-Mensa administration has so far exhibited efforts aimed deepening the country\u2019s democratic credentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if there is anyone who is becoming a threat or a potential threat to the democracy we are practising in our country, then I will rather say that it is the posture of the NDC. Since this new Commission took over we have noticed some of the things that have transpired. Before the Ayawaso West by-election, allegations were rife that, the register was bloated and we also noticed pictures of ballot papers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we as a commission we have seen a particular pattern of the NDC. So I don\u2019t see why the NDC will turn around and accuse the Chairperson that her actions were a threat to democracy. \u00a0This is the only Commission that is committed to Ghana\u2019s democracy because we are operating within the law\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Attitude of Jean Mensa towards NDC worrying \u2013 Asiedu Nketia<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sour relationship between the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), and the Electoral Commission (EC) appears to be worsening by the day.<\/p>\n

NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has said the EC Chair, Jean Mensa, appears to harbouring some prejudice against them.<\/p>\n
