The assurance from Bossman Asare comes in the wake of consistent claims of a possible rigging of the 2020 polls by members of the opposition National Democratic Congress and indeed, the former President of the country. But during a working visit by all three commissioners of the EC to Accra based Peace FM, Dr. Bossman Asare took the opportunity to respond to the concerns of Mr. Mahama over his concerns with the credibility of the Electoral Commission. “I want to inform former President Mahama that he should remain calm because myself, Madam Jean Mensa and my elder Mr. Tetteh see the work handed to us as God’s plan. So I plead with Mr. Mahama to remain calm, everything is under control,” Dr. Bossman Asare emphasized.
