Mr. Koku Anyidoho, the Chief Executive Officer of the Atta Mills Institute, has heaped praises on Electoral Commission boss, Jean Mensa as he believes the conduct of the 2020 election has been free and fair.
According to him, false assertions were made by members of the National Patriotic Party that there was a heavy military presence in the Volta Region which hindered electorates in the region from coming out to exercise their franchise.
Speaking in an interview with Joy News Mr. Anyidoho said, “There were talks of military deployment in the Volta Region but it wasn’t so. You will find police, CEPS, Fire Service and Prisons [officials], no military presence at any polling station where I went to or where my team went to.”
He applauded the EC for a smooth electioneering process.
“Then the electoral process itself, for me, Jean Mensa and her EC, as we have commended all from the days of Nana Oduro Nimapau to Justice Ofori Boateng to Dr. Afari Gyan through Charlotte Osei and now Jean Mensa, as a nation, we must just tap ourselves on the shoulder and say we have progressed since 1992.
“This is the eighth and this year, what Jean Mensa and the EC have done is super”.
“The initial narrative as if to say the BVDs has been programmed to run the election in the direction of one political party is not true. Those BDVs were not programmed to run the election in the direction of one political party, it verifies everybody” Mr. Anyidoho asserted.
