As tensions escalate over the disputed results in the Ablekuma North Constituency, Dr. Valerie Esther Sawyerr is calling out Electoral Commission Chairperson Jean Mensa for what she describes as a troubling silence and failure to assert institutional authority.
Dr. Sawyerr, a respected voice in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), says the EC Chair has shown a lack of leadership in resolving the confusion that followed the destruction of original pink sheets during a violent episode at the collation center in December 2024.
“Where is the bell of the institution supposed to deal fairly with all sides?” she asked rhetorically in a lengthy post shared on social media.
“Where is the voice of decision-making?”She criticized the EC’s alleged preference for accepting scanned documents from one political party—the NPP—without parallel records from the NDC or the EC itself.
According to Sawyerr, this constitutes a serious lapse in neutrality, worsened by the EC’s claim that all political parties had unanimously agreed to the decision—something she describes as “a bold-faced lie.”
