EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa.

The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana says adequate measures have been put in place to ensure that the upcoming district-level elections are free and fair. 

According to the Chairperson of the Commission, Jean Mensa, records show that not many people participated in this election; therefore, the commission has taken steps to ensure that everything goes well.

“Experience over the years shows that this election is not highly participated in and we would like to entreat all Ghanaians and assure them that the Electoral Commission has put in place all arrangements, all necessary arrangements and modalities have been put in place for a smooth incident-free election and we will like to entreat all Ghanaians to take their time to go to their polling stations to cast their votes," she said.

The EC boss made this known at the press briefing on Monday, December 18 ahead of the election on Tuesday, December 19.

Jean Mensa clarified that the election was crucial to achieving the developmental goals of the nation since most of the developmental projects begin at the local assembly level.

“Let us make this election meaningful. We are all aware that developments start at the district level  and therefore it is important that as citizens we have a say and a stake in who brings development to our various districts,” she added.

Again, she encouraged all Ghanaians to take time to vote for members of their assembly and their unit.

The EC boss also advised Ghanaians to refrain from acts that might interfere with the smooth conduct of the exercise.
