The National Peace Council has urged the Electoral Commission led by Jean Mensa to stop using their independence as an excuse and to listen to good advice.
Maulvi Mohammed Bin Salih, a member of the Peace Council, stressed that while the Electoral Commission (EC) is independent, this should not be a reason to ignore advice and guidance.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the launch of the National Elections Response Group, Maulvi noted that the EC’s success or failure can make or unmake Ghana in the 2024 general elections.
“Independent they are, yes, but that doesn’t stop them from listening to Ghanaians, listening to the wisdom of our elders, and so on”, he said.
“They should not, under any circumstances, hide behind the independence to refuse to consult and listen.”
“If they put their act together and do it well, they can put Ghana together and they can place Ghana on a pedestal of peace and progress”.
“But if they don’t act well, they can also break Ghana and posterity will not forgive them if it so happens.”
