She outlined the EC’s ongoing efforts to maintain transparency, fairness, and accountability, all of which she described as crucial for fostering public confidence in the election results.
“We have, right from the start of our electoral processes, consciously operated and conducted ourselves in a manner that will ensure peace before, during, and after the elections,” she added.
Mensa further called on political parties, civil society organizations, and voters to collaborate in ensuring a smooth, peaceful, and successful election, reinforcing the need for collective responsibility in safeguarding Ghana’s democratic process.
