President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led the delegation as the ECOWAS Chairperson together with Alassane Ouattara, President of La Côte d'Ivoire and the duo held talks with Colonel Doumbouya and his men on Friday, September 17. It showed that aside from the two President’s there were other officials from Ghana who were part of the delegation. Seated among those on the front row was Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, the Foreign Affair Minister. Alfred Ogbamey, a journalist and former communications director of Ghana Gas Company Limited assumed Shirley Ayorkor Botchway to be Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission. Ogbamey subsequently deleted the post that sought to malign the EC Chairperson.
