Chair
of
the
Electoral
Commission
(EC)
Jean
Mensa
has
said
that
all
the
electoral
activities
undertaken
ahead
of
the
2024
general
elections
have
been
inclusive.
The
Commission
was
successful
in
carrying
out
the
activities
due
to
the
cooperation
of
the
security
agencies,
she
said.
Speaking
at
a
meeting
with
the
national
election
security
task
force
at
the
headquarters
of
the
Electoral
Commission
on
Monday,
July
8,
2024,
the
EC
chair
said
“I’m
happy
to
note
that
all
the
activities
we
have
undertaken
so
far
have
been
very
successful
and
inclusive
and
all
citizens
who
wished
to
register
had
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
We
couldn’t
have
done
this
without
the
cooperation
of
our
security
agencies.
“We
had
meetings
with
the
IGP
and
National
Security
Task
Force,
and
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
amazing
work
they
have
done
so
far.
“We’ve
enjoyed
fruitful
collaboration
with
them
and
that
has
led
to
the
fruitful
exercises
we
have
had
so
far,”
Jean
Mensa
said.
She
added
“We
enjoyed
police
presence
in
all
our
registration
Centers
and
Police
also
provided
security
for
our
mobile
teams
when
they
moved
around
the
country.
I
would
like
to
pledge
our
commitment
to
always
work
with
the
security
agencies
to
ensure
our
objectives
of
ensuring
free
and
transparent
elections
are
achieved”.
For
his
part,
the
IGP
Dr.
Akuffo
Dampare
said
“We
are
grateful
to
the
public
and
the
EC
and
all
other
stakeholders
for
the
cooperation
we
have
had
from
them
so
far.
I
will
continue
to
urge
them
to
support
the
police
in
ensuring
that
Ghana
continues
to
be
the
beacon
of
hope
for
the
continent
and
beyond.
This
is
the
only
country
we
have
and
we
need
to
ensure
it’s
always
at
peace”.
Meanwhile,
the
Commission
has
said
that
it
is
going
to
conduct
a
mop-up
voter
registration
exercise
from
August
01
to
August
03,
2024.
The
exercise
is
to
afford
persons
who
were
unable
to
register
during
the
limited
registration
exercise
as
well
as
persons
who
turned
18
after
the
completion
of
the
registration
to
register.
The
mop-up
registration
will
follow
a
voter
exhibition
from
August
20
to
August
27.
