Jean Mensa, best ever EC Chair in Ghana’s history – Prof. Adei
Former Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) Rector, Professor Stephen Adei, has named Jean Mensa as the best Electoral Commission Chair in the history of Ghana.
“I think she is the best EC Chair we have ever had in terms of competence,” he said.
According to him, her office stood its grounds to combat false allegations purported by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the just-ended elections.
“From day one, they have always piled up to paint her negative. I have counted to about eight to 10 cases, the NDC will issue a false statement. She will then issue a statement that it is false.

“They will not say anything and move to the next one and issue a false statement and the cycle continues,” he stated.
The NDC, as well as some Civil Service Organisations (CSOs), have questioned the ECs unyielding demand to have a new electoral roll.
The Commission had argued that it could not conduct the December 7, 2020 election with the roll it had justifying the need to have a new register.
Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the EC braved the storm to register Ghanaians.
This was lauded by the renowned academic.
Prof Adei also said considering what Mrs. Mensa had to go through amid the pandemic to also execute the December 7, 2020 general election, it puts her far ahead of her predecessors.
Prof. Adei was speaking on Joy SMS Monday.
