First Deputy Minority Whip and MP for Banda constituency, Ahmed Ibrahim say he still could not fathom out the reason behind the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa‘s decison to compile a new voters’ register after various groups and some political parties have kicked against the registration exercise.
According to him, all efforts by parliament to bring before them, Jean Mensa to answer some questions and explain her reasons for the compilation further have been unsuccessful.
“How do we solve this problem surrounding the compilation of the new voters’ register if she doesn’t want to appear before us?” he questioned in an interview on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
Meanwhile, the EC boss has met the Special Budget Committee of Parliament Tuesday morning, to brief the Committee about its preparation towards the December 7 election.
