General News of Friday, 7 August 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.com'Our performance will speak for itself' – Jean Mensa touts success of voters registrationplay videoEC Chair, Jean MensaChairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Jean Mensa, has declined to appraise the performance of the Commission in the just ended voters registration exercise, stating that the Ghanaian public will be the best judge. Although the Commission had projected to register 15 million eligible voters in the registration exercise, it exceeded that target after registering over 16 million eligible voters (16,663,669) at the end of the exercise on Thursday, August 6, 2020. The days leading to the start of the registration exercise was tumultuous for the EC as Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) mount fierce resistance. Mrs Mensa told journalists that the successful completion of the mass voter registration exercise was just the beginning of many other transparent processes the EC had put in place for a credible and fair election. A mop-up registration exercise has been scheduled for Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9.
