She highlighted that the EC has successfully managed several elections, earning the trust of both Ghanaians and the international community through its commitment to integrity.
“We have a proven track record of delivering credible elections, and we remain resolute in ensuring that the upcoming 2024 elections will be no different”
She further assured the public that the EC has put in place comprehensive measures to address any concerns related to the voter’s register and the election preparations.
The EC encouraged political parties and the public to continue working together with the Commission to guarantee a smooth and transparent electoral process.
