The NDC breezed into town with oceans of assertions to the effect that the Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission had supervise a voter registration exercise that’s not fit for purpose.

They have been lamenting about a supposed opaque system of the EC which they believe has led to some multiple names and other related issues in the register.

The party has since been calling on the EC to undertake a forensic audit of the register, and this, they insisted, should be done by a foreign entity.

The EC asked the opposition NDC to make available to it all their complaints to enable the Commission to know the extent of their issues so as to help them know the appropriate remedies to rectify whatever anomalies they may detect in them.

The NDC supplied a sample of their so-called claims which made it impossible for the EC to provide useful solutions for same. The EC asked for more, but the NDC refused to do the needful.

Mahama and his charges resorted to courting public sympathy as it fell on CSOs, the clergy and other influential bodies to join in their calls for a forensic audit of the register.

The EC kept on insisting that their system is such that it has identified the challenges the NDC has been crying about and self-corrected them.

The NDC then announced a date to embark on a nationwide demonstration against the EC. They protested in all the 16 regional capitals of the country.

The EC, meanwhile, had been asking the NDC to come to the table with the detailed evidence of their claims, but all to no avail. The party never budged.

The EC then called for an IPAC meeting with the view to having a holistic discussion about the complaints of the NDC. All the parties were represented.

At the IPAC meeting which was televised on all major television channels, broadcast on radio stations and streamed on social media platforms, almost all the parties, except the NDC, were at home with the presentation and explanations of the EC.

Almost all of them commended the EC for the yeomanry and transparent manner it has conducted its affairs. Jean Mensa was praised by the participants for a great work done.

The NDC was left panting for breath as its representatives failed to convince the other parties of the numerous claims they made against the EC. Jean Mensa, is, therefore, not a monster after all.
