EC boss Jean Mensah snubs first IPAC meeting

It has emerged that new Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensah failed to attend the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting with representatives of the various political parties.

The meeting which would have been her first since her appointment as EC boss was an opportunity to meet face-to-face with the political parties and also deliberate on pertinent issues.

However, speaking to Samuel Eshu on the Gold Power Drive, Head of Communications at the Commission, Eric Kofi Dzakpasu says Mrs. Mensah could not make it to the meeting because she is out of the jurisdiction attending to other pressing issues.

The IPAC meeting saw discussions on the referendum on the creation of six new regions and voter registration exercise.

The EC has set November 27, 2018, for the referendum on the creation of six new regions.

Before this, the Commission will embark on a series of activities including the registration of new and continuous voters, the exhibition of the voters’ register, as well as processes for the transfer of votes and or the grant of proxy votes.
