The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, Mrs Charlotte Osei, is doing a good job and should be commended, immediate past Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Nigeria, Professor Attahiru Jega has said.
Prof Jega, who won a lot of praise for conducting a successful election for Nigeria, however, cautioned Mrs Osei not to be swayed by challenges in her way.
“I really believe that she is doing a very commendable job in very difficult circumstances and I want to encourage her. She must remain focused,” Prof Jega indicated in an interview with Ghana Decides, an initiative by Blogging Ghana, which was transmitted live on Facebook on Thursday, November 3.
Meanwhile, the EC who has been inundated with several lawsuits due to disqualifications of some presidential nominees has expressed confidence that all legal issues regarding the December 7 election process will be resolved in time before the December 7 general elections in Ghana.
“We will not allow law suits to subvert the process and so we are going to get a definitive ruling from the Supreme Court likely this week. At the latest, early next week, but in the meantime, we have started the process of printing the parliamentary ballot papers to make up some of the time and so we are in a good place to meet the December 7 date,” she told BBC Africa’s Akwasi Sarpong.
