The presidential candidate of the NDC, John Mahama has described the Electoral Commission (EC) led by Jean Mensa as the worst Ghana has seen.
The former president said this in Techiman South Constituency in the Bono East Region on Wednesday, December 16, 2020, when he paid a visit to the families of victims of the electoral clashes.
Two persons – Abdallah Ayaric and Tajudeen Alhassan – died while four got injured after the military fired warning shots at the Constituency Collation Centre in the early hours of Tuesday, December 8.

Mahama disclosed to the media that, a third person died later at a hospital.
He expressed his "condolences to the relatives of the deceased", adding that the EC should be blamed for the unfortunate incident.
According to him, "But I must say, things shouldn't have happened this way. This is not our first election. But unfortunately, we find ourselves here due to the incompetence of this Electoral Commission.
"If this was a more advanced country, the EC Chairperson would have been forced to resign in shame. Ghana has been tagged as the beacon of democracy for a long time, but the EC has soiled our reputation. This EC will go down in history as the worst ever."
"We have over the years seen only the police, immigration, and fire services during elections. The military was only needed when things got out of hand. So how come this time around the military was present? And to think that our president termed the deaths as a few. I cannot even claim political power when even life is lost in the process," he added as quoted by Pulsegh.
