EC Calls for Stakeholders’ Support to Complete Electoral Processes

In a call for cooperation and trust, the Electoral Commission (EC) has urged all stakeholders to support its ongoing efforts to finalize the processes following the 2024 general elections.

Dr. Bossman Eric Asare, Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Corporate Services, emphasized the importance of collaboration in ensuring the elections’ transparency and credibility.

Speaking at a media briefing, Dr. Asare reiterated the EC’s constitutional independence, stressing that the Commission operates free from external interference.

He referred to Article 46 of the 1992 Constitution, which guarantees the EC’s autonomy, stating, “The Electoral Commission, in the performance of its functions, shall not be subject to the direction or control of any person or authority.”

He made it clear that the EC’s primary responsibility is to conduct elections impartially and independently.

As part of its mission, the Commission has urged political parties, candidates, and the general public to refrain from interfering with the electoral process.

“The Commission urges all stakeholders to support the Electoral Commission, so we can complete our mandate effectively,” Dr. Asare said.

“Once our work is completed, if anyone has concerns or finds discrepancies, they are welcome to address them. But, as outlined by the law, the EC is well within its rights to carry out its duties independently.”

With the 2024 general elections nearing completion, the EC is working diligently to ensure that the remaining steps are carried out with utmost integrity.

The Commission’s commitment to transparency is key to fostering public confidence and ensuring a credible outcome. Stakeholder collaboration remains crucial in achieving these goals.
