The Electoral Commission (EC) has clarified that its Chairperson, Mrs Jean Mensa, did not attend the recently held National Delegates Conference of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) held in Kumasi.

The clarification comes after a picture of a woman in a facemask wearing NPP colours at the Conference went viral on social media with people tagging her as the EC Chairperson.

The EC said the person in the photograph is not Mrs Mensa.

The election management body called on the public to be mindful of schemes of such nature with the sole mission of tarnishing the image and reputation of the Chairperson of the Commission.

The NPP’s Conference, which was, among other things, meant to take stock of the activities of the party in the year under review, particularly its performance in the 2020 general elections and plan for the coming years, was held at the weekend.

It was on the theme: ‘NPP, Our Resolve, Our Determination and Commitment to Ghana’s Development’.
