In a move to reinforce transparency and electoral accountability, Parliament has announced plans to summon the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, to respond to critical questions raised by Members of Parliament.
The announcement was made by Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga during the presentation of the business statement for the coming week.
The appearance of the EC Chairperson is expected to address two key concerns submitted by Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor, Member of Parliament for South Dayi.
The first question seeks to determine whether the EC has awarded any contracts for the printing and supply of ballot papers for the 2024 General Elections.
This inquiry aims to examine the transparency of procurement processes and ensure the integrity of electoral logistics.
The second question relates to the delayed declaration of the Ablekuma North parliamentary results, which have remained officially unannounced since the December 7 polls.
Dafeamekpor is demanding answers from the EC Chairperson regarding the cause of the prolonged delay and why the results have not been made public.
