Haruna Iddrisu Kicks Against Dismissing Jean Mensa: "Wisdom Is Talking"

• Former Majority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has kicked against calls for the EC's Jean Mensa to be axed
• In an interview, he noted that such matters would not be of primary concern to the incoming President
• Netizens who saw the video were divided and expressed mixed reactions in the comments section

Former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has strongly opposed calls for the dismissal of Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson Jean Mensa.

Iddrisu's remarks come amid a growing debate over the EC's performance and impartiality in the wake of the country's recent elections.

Earlier, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, special aide to the President-elect, stated that the EC chair would be dismissed after John Mahama assumed office due to her perceived incompetence.

However, Iddrisu has opposed the move. He argued that dismissing Mensa was not the incoming president's primary concern and said only Ghanaians determined who won an election.

He said the incoming government should primarily focus on respecting and upholding the democratic will of the people rather than targeting individual officials.
