Citing purported inadequacies in the administration of the general elections in 2024, the Movement for Change and the All People's Congress (APC) have jointly demanded that Jean Mensa, the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), quit.

In order to restore public confidence in Ghana's voting procedures, all parties emphasized the necessity of immediate improvements.

The APC's presidential candidate, Hassan Ayariga, blasted the EC for taking so long to compile and declare the poll results.

He called the situation intolerable and a major blow to democracy in an interview with Channel One TV. "The results would be finalized by now if we had adopted a digital voting system."

Certain regions and constituencies were still tallying ballots two days after the election. The process's credibility is weakened by this inefficiency. "Are we casting our votes for 150 million people?" he said.

Courage Nobi, the Deputy Director for Policy, expressed displeasure with the EC leadership and called for their resignation on behalf of the Movement for Change. He maintained that important elements of the election had been handled improperly by the electoral authority.

"The way the EC has acted has not been one that encourages trust. "After the results are announced, the commissioners should voluntarily resign so that the institution can be completely reinvented," Nobi said.

Convention People's Party (CPP) Deputy Secretary Joyce Larbi, meantime, praised the Electoral Commission for holding what she called a generally orderly and peaceful election.
