The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday 14 April 2021 declined an invitation by the Electoral Commission (EC) to attend an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting because it has lost trust in the election management body.
According to the EC, the IPAC meeting was to review the 2020 parliamentary and presidential elections.
“The party took this decision because of the lack of candour, odious duplicity, and open bias that was displayed by the Jean Mensah-led Electoral Commission in favour of the New Patriotic Party in the conduct of the 2020 general elections.
“It is the considered view of the NDC, that the current leadership of the Electoral Commission who supervised the manipulation of the 2020 general elections and the stolen verdict that resulted from same, lack the integrity, credibility and impartiality to lead any such discussions or review of the very elections they rigged,” secretary general of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said in a statement.
