\n
Ghana\u2019s former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hannah Tetteh, has called on President-elect John Dramani Mahama to include a comprehensive overhaul of the Electoral Commission (EC) in his promised resetting agenda.<\/p>\n
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, December 24, the former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West expressed grave concerns about the conduct of the EC, emphasizing the urgent need for significant reforms to rebuild public confidence in the institution.<\/p>\n
Tetteh\u2019s remarks come amidst ongoing discussions about the role of the EC in ensuring credible elections, with several stakeholders advocating for reforms to strengthen the institution\u2019s independence and accountability.<\/p>\n
She urged the incoming administration to prioritize these reforms as part of its broader commitment to resetting governance and addressing systemic challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way in which they have engaged has not exactly allowed people to have confidence in their objectivity and neutrality, and I think that one of the lessons for the commission after the election should be how to also do a reset because if they don\u2019t do a reset, I worry what people\u2019s perceptions will be of the EC\u2019s neutrality and competence in the elections that we have coming in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has to be a significant review about what it will do differently to improve public confidence because it is currently at an all-time low.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
