If these dishonest NPP members are happy with the ruling it simply means NDC has got it wrong as usual. Father for all again will lead you to a ditch

@Sway, I fully support your stand. There is something terribly wrong with the NDC.It is quite clear that the EC performance was below par and here we are talking as if she did something fantastic. If the the NDC is going along this tangent because they won massively they should come again; the win was not because Jean Mensah did a good job it was simply because Ghanaians desperately wanted the NPP out. In fact Jean Mensah marred the 2024 elections with her usual flip flopping attitude. Parliamentary elections on my mind.

Ndc was clearly doing propaganda. EC chair did nothing wrong to be removed. So CJ knows if she is unlawfully removed,the EC chair can sue govt heftily. They don't even have money to pay workers or cocoa farmers or to employ workers,so why lose huge sum of money to one person. Out your common sense on and stop the partisan useless politics. Let's be useful in this country. Charlotte Osei and her fellow EC colleagues were the ones who orchestrated their own exit by fighting against each other and accusing each other of all sorts of very serious illegalities at the EC& that is why chrag recommended their dismissal. Go check the records . Stop the useless propaganda.

This equalization of NDC is becoming too much. Because the former EC was removed, the NDC have to find any possible means to remove madam Mensah even if she and her deputies has done nothing wrong. I don't blame them, because during the campaign their candidate even said he will remove her when he comes to power. To set the records straight, it wasn't Nana Addo who removed Charlotte Osei but she and her deputies gave themselves out. I know, the fools in NDC would not agree to this fact.

Look at how your wicked boss Kuffour jailed Tsatsu Tsikata, after panel judges had cleared him of misdeeds. Kufour brought in additional NPP JUDGES to forcefully jail Tsatsy Tsikata. To he'll with all of you. To the CJ he should remember it's NDC who has made him who he is know.

Is that true that there's no one single reason or wrong doing to establish a ground or bases or prima facie case. to remove Jean Adukwei Mensah and her deputies from office as established by the Chief Justice Paul Bonnie? So in this country Ghana, who is honest and who is not honest? The whole country, even children know who is Jean Mensah and deputies and what they have done as Chairs of the electoral commission over the past eight years. Honesty is required of everyone. Some omissions or deliberate ignorance could equally be seen as an act of dishonesty. Injustice, deliberate absorption from wrong doing, lack of accountability from state officials is the totality of the continued under development of the continent. The Chief Justice must have overlooked and thrown under the carpet all the tangible reasons placed before him for political correctness. An absorption of this kind or magnitude is corruption and must be disapproved by Ghanaians. It's only those who are at advantage are hailing this fallout of a decision. The future will tell.

A very patriotic CJ who chooses truth over partisan propaganda. We can't have every president coming in to remove EC chairs childishly with no legal basis to stand on ,but just to please party footsoldiers whose brains they manipulated with political propaganda. Ghana needs to grow positively with basic common sense applied,not partisan political propaganda with every president changing ECs and CJs by heart. It doesn't out food in the table of ordinary Ghanaians. See the serious hardship going on with everything going up in prices even though inflation is single digit and solar is down. Poverty & joblessness amongst Ghanaians has increased & that's the most important thing the govt should look at. Even the party foot soldiers are hungry and groaning. Open your eyes small with wisdom. Abaa!
