A staff member of the Electoral Commission (EC), Joseph Blankson Adumadzie, has formally petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to initiate the removal of the EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, and her two deputies, Dr. Bossman Eric Asare and Samuel Tettey.
Mr. Blankson Adumadzie is alleging acts of misconduct he believes threaten the credibility and integrity of Ghana’s electoral system.
Although he declined to disclose the full contents of the petition—as required by law—he confirmed that the document outlines 12 counts of alleged misbehaviour, including claims of cronyism, abuse of office, and gross incompetence.
The development has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing approval and saying the move was “long overdue.”
It remains unclear how President Mahama will respond. However, sources at the Jubilee House have indicated that “the President will act in conformity with the law.”
