The Electoral Commission of Ghana has discounted social media speculation that its Chairperson Jean Mensa travelled outside the country after declaring the 2020 Presidential Election results on Wednesday, December 9, 2020.
The Commission in a press release on Friday, December 11, 2020, said Mrs Mensa, as well as its other Commissioners, are still at post discharging their legally mandated duties.
“The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to information circulating on social media claiming that its Chairperson travelled outside the country after declaring the 2020 Presidential Election results. We wish to state that Mrs Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, as well as all the Commissioners are at post discharging their legally mandated duties,” the release said.
“The public is therefore urged to disregard this fake news”.
