He adds that the committee has not been invited for a meeting for some time now because of the suggestion they made to the EC. The Electoral Commission (EC) in December 2019, inaugurated a 21-member Eminent Advisory Committee to enhance engagement and interactions between the Commission and the Ghanaian Society, as the nation prepares towards the 2020 General Elections. In fact, the EC set up its advisory committee of eminent persons by the way, just that he made the suggestion that you need to listen to every party they have been discarded because I don’t know the last time there were called for a meeting. He said the Council will invite the Electoral Commission to hear their side of the story for fairness.
