Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Adukwei Mensa has said that the commission does not have the power to determine who wins the elections.
She said that the power to do so rests with Ghanaians who will cast their ballot in the elections.
Addressing a press conference after announcing the approved presidential candidates, in Accra on Friday September 20, she said “We don’t have the power to determine who wins elections, it is only the citizens and the citizens alone who can determine who wins, not the EC.”
The Electoral Commission has approved 13 candidates to contest the December 7 presidential election.
“Following the successful conduct of the Filing of Nominations from the 9th of September to the 13th of September, 2024, the Commission instituted a thorough examination of the Nomination Forms submitted by the Candidates to ensure conformity with requirements as set out in law,” an earlier press release announced.
“The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the General Public that the following persons have successfully gone through the Nomination process and qualify to contest as Candidates in the 2024 Presidential Election,” it concluded.
