Jean Mensa "Prejudice Ports" against NDC. . . But EC responds "They are rather a threat to democracy!" | Policy

The bad mood between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition Electoral Commission (EC) seems far from over.

It seems to get worse day by day. The NDC has not hidden its concerns about the behavior of the electoral body lately and has openly criticized the EC for some of its decisions with which the party does not agree .

A few days ago, the party opposed the restriction of a limited district registration exercise, which it said would be unpleasant as a result of the EC's decision not to follow up on CND's request to decentralize the process.

NDC Secretary General Johnson Asiedu Nketia strongly believes that Commission President Jean Mensa has some prejudices against them.

"Somehow, I think, because we expressed our opinion on whether or not he was able to hold the position at the time of the appointment. She seems to bear this prejudice and she thinks it is reason enough to deny us our rights. So we think the problem comes from his attitude and not from the NDC,He told the media.

After a recent meeting of IPAC on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, the opposition party condemned the position of Ms. Jean Mensa.

According to the NDC, Jean Mensa disrespected their general secretary when she warned him not to make fun of his comments. They also described it as a threat to the country's democracy.

Reacting to this in an interview on Citi Eyewitness NewsDr. Eric Bossman Asare, Vice-President of the European Commission, said that various comments and postures from the NDC indicated thatare the threat. "

"I think that if there is a threat to the democracy that we practice in our country, I would rather say that it is the position of the CND since this new commission took power … we noticed a particular tendency of the NDC. This is a commission that aims to strengthen our democracy,He said.

Recalling what happened at the meeting, he said: "while the president made her statement, Mr. Asiedu Nketia laughed and the president told him that you were becoming a distraction; your actions disrupt the meeting; it's one of the many things that have happened "… add, "we are surprised that they claim that the president was shouting … " he added.
