According to him, the CI will outline the legal framework for conducting the December 7 elections without which he said, would be incomplete, which could complicate the electoral processes and disrupt the timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the media on Monday, October 28, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu noted, \u201cMaybe we need to engage because elections should be held. And if elections must be held, every time that the presidential and general elections are going to be held, the Electoral Commission, for instance, will bring a CI to regulate the elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens if they have not brought it? What happens to the conduct of elections? We need a vote on account for the next succeeding financial year and that has not been done. I think we need to have Parliament recalled to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><br \/><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><br \/><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Majority Leader and current Member of Parliament for Suame, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has advised Parliament\u2019s leadership to engage in meaningful dialogue with the Speaker of the House to resolve the recent impasse disrupting parliamentary operations.
