She said this in an interview with Channel One TV on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.
Mogtari noted that if she was in Jean’s position, she would immediately tender her resignation.
She said that while that may not happen, the Commission may be investigated for elementary breaches, and it would be removed if found culpable.
However, she noted that the Electoral Commission itself needs a complete overhaul and that much-needed reform would hopefully be factored into the constitutional amendment process to be undertaken under the John Mahama government.
She said the reforms would be comprehensive and ensure the Commission's efficiency and effectiveness while upholding the institution’s independence.
Mogtari alleged that the current Electoral Commission has been stuffed with partisan officials who have exhibited great prejudice and bias towards the NDC.
She further alleged the EC chair had not hidden her prejudice against the NDC, and thus, “she ought to respect herself and leave.”
