A former National Vice Chairman of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Said Sinare, has accused the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Madam Jean Mensa of collaborating with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to undermine Ghana's democracy in the Assin North by-election.
H.E Alhaji Said Sinare, a former Diplomat and Politician who is also the Founder of Zongos for NDC, said Mrs Jean Mensa's recent public outburst on the alleged importation of a candidate sponsored by the NPP to contest in the Assin North by-election provoked his suspicion.
Mr Sinare said there was nothing wrong with the EC as an institution, but there are some people within the Commission who are nation wreckers.
In a tweet, the outspoken former High Commissioner alluded that, the institution under the watch of Madam Jean Mensa has surrendered its autonomous power to the ruling New patriotic Party.
He added that the institution continues to operate as a compromised umpire with obnoxious impunity, sending signals that it has been heavily recruited by the NPP to alter results for its candidate in the Assin North by-election.

Crass talk.
I always cry for Ghana when i read such postings. Where is the evidence? Is it just because Jean Mensah was appointed by a/the NPP government? And, may be under conditions that may not sit well with the NDC because Charlotte Osei was removed under the same NPP government? Osei was appointed by Mahama so was the NDC in bed with her? The NPP wining the elections organized by Osei's EC is evidence to suggest otherwise. Same for Afari Gyan who was appointed by the NDC but called the 2000 elections for the NPP. Maybe one can say Afari Gyan compromised with Rawlings that is why he called the two elections for him! Not so fast! Jerry won those elections! There is no way Jean Mensah can and will for any other party if that party does not win the/an election. People who have occupied and continue to occupy top positions - party and government institutions - or none of the two, and who are respected should be measured in what they say, please. Mr. Sinarre should be circumspect in what he put up. It may have dire repercussions for Ghana.
The literates and the illiterates, the old and the young, the rich and the poor in the NDC all have the same mindsets. Nobody is educating anybody.
What happened to elections are won at the polling stations? Does the EC boss compile elections results at the polling stations. The popular ***barred word*** must give way to scientific sense.
Why are all these foreigners find themselves in NDC making too much noise? This guy, Yamin, Fifi Kwetey, Ade Coker, Asiedu Nketai, Domelevo...... Name the rest. You know them.
When everything is settled and we are moving forward ,there comes a man who knows how it works comes to muddy the waters Oh mother Ghana!
Oh, mother Ghana, can a Ghanaian go to Egypt and talk about their national politics and live? I do not care whether he was born or naturalized in this country. A leopard skin does not change when drowned in the river. He should go and do this in Nigeria politics.
