A staff member of the Electoral Commission (EC), Joseph Blankson Adumadzie, has formally petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to initiate the removal of the Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa, and her two deputies, Dr Bossman Eric Asare and Samuel Tettey, citing alleged misconduct that he says threatens the credibility of Ghana’s electoral system.

In a statement issued on Monday, November 24, Mr Adumadzie confirmed that the petition was submitted in line with Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, which outlines the procedure for removing heads of independent constitutional bodies.
