Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson Jean Mensa reaffirmed that the authority to elect Ghana’s next president rests solely with the people, not the election management body.
Speaking at a press briefing on Friday (20 September) she emphasized that the outcome of the 2024 elections will be determined by the citizens’ votes, with the EC merely declaring the result based on their choice.
“…We as a commission do not have the power to determine who wins elections. It is not in our control to determine the outcome of the election. The power indeed lies with the good people of our dear country.
“It is only the citizens and the citizens alone who can determine who should lead them, not the EC. It is the candidate who is given the power to lead them by the citizens who will be declared president of the Republic of Ghana by the EC come the 7th of December 2024,” she stated
