Officials of the Electoral Commission met with former President John Mahama on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 in Accra, amid ‘tight’ security.
The meeting held at the former President’s Office at East Cantonments, saw police officers being barred from entering the meeting room with guns.
At a point Stan Dogbe said emphatically “no guns inside.”
That apparently forced the police officers to sit at the reception throughout rather than entering the meeting hall.
One of the two police officers spotted at the venue came with the EC Chairperson Jean Mensa.
Journalists were equally blocked from entering the meeting hall with their phones.
A former presidential staffer during the tenure of Mr. Mahama, Stan Dogbe was standing right at the entrance of the meeting hall together with another person, apparently a private security officer, asking journalists to hand over their phones to them.

Pleas from journalists to be allowed in the meeting room with their phones to aid them take pictures for their reportages, fell on deaf ears, as Mr. Dogbe insisted that no phones should be allowed into the hall.
After the initial welcome remarks, Mr. Mahama personally asked journalists to leave the meeting room for a heart-to-heart closed door meeting with the EC officials, a sharp departure from the two previous meetings with former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Jerry John Rawlings where journalists sat in from the beginning of the meeting to the end.
Mrs. Mensa told the former President that the purpose of their visit was to among other things, seek his support and partnership for the activities of the Commission.
She said it was also to bring the Commission to the doorstep of the opposition National Democratic Congress and to create a platform for dialogue.

Probably they went to apologize for all the insult they have rained on her especially all the things general has been saying. At your age and always verbally abusing Head of State institution and now you want to apologize. That is why the media were sent out.
I am surprised to see general and chairman at the meeting. I though general and Mahama have been bashing this woman aaa for sometime now. Hmmm politicians paaa especially NDC, hmmm
THIS NEW EC BOSS IS VERY SENSIBLE AND WISE. SHE INTERNTIONALLY WENT TO MEET THE NDC TO LET THEM KNOW SHE HAS NOTHING AGAINST THEM. HOWEVER IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST HER, SHE HAS COME TO THEM SO THAT SHE WILL KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE AGAINST HER. I DONT THINK THE NDC CAN SAY ANY SENSIBLE THING TO THIS LADY BECAUSE FROM MAHAMA TO OFOSU AMPOFO,TO ASIEDU NKETIA, TO SMALL BOY SAMMY GYAMFI, NONE OF THEM IS SENSIBLE.
I think the EC shouldn't have met the ndc at all, because from the word go they never liked you and what about the meaning if the closed door did you know the juju or voodoo they put there if they don't have any evil intention why closed door? Asiedu Nketiah has all the talismen on earth under his skinny lower stomach and how can you have a closed door meeting g with you enemies and is that meeting even necessary? you've been given a job to do for Ghana and if anything invite them but going from house to house do you know what sonebody has in his house ?never trust ndc,they are wicked occultic organization, the moment they said closed door you just leave but they used their juju on you and you followed them like a goat to the slaughter house ! I don't get the style of this woman ! where in the world did the Electoral Commission go to the houses of former presidents and a loser flagbearer so will they go to Nana with that juju they've used on them? NPP don't accept them, why closed doors and why did they accept that? so from there where will they go ? to Kofi Akpaloo, Odike, Akua Donkor, Papa Kwesi Nduom and the pnc ? I hope so because they are all stake holders ! Ghanafuo gyegye nsemfun so !
