The electioneering year is drawing closer with every passing day. With less than one month to the Presidential and Parliamentary General Elections, political parties are chasing Ghanaian voters in an attempt to woo them towards their respective camps.

The Chairperson of the Commission, Jean Adukwei Mensa, briefing Parliament, in Accra, at weekend on the roadmap for the polls, said the Commission had procured a wide variety of election materials such as ballot boxes, thumbprint pads, stationery, identifications jackets, polling station booths, rechargeable lamps, indelible ink, educational posters, and seals among others.
“We’re about 95 percent done with the distribution of election materials to our various locations across the country,” Mrs. Mensa, said, adding that the Commission has planned thoroughly for the distribution.
Madam Jean appeared before the parliamentarians in the company of Mr Samuel Tettey -Deputy Chair Operations, Dr Bossman Eric Asare, Deputy Chair Corporate Services, Mr Kye Duodo, Procurement Officer and Mr Henry Ashong – Deputy Finance Director.
Mrs Jean Mensah also elaborated that to facilitate the movement of the staff and promote the delivery of their mandate at the grassroots level, the Commission procured a total of 147 vehicles made up of 15 motorbikes, 30 four-wheel drives, 107 pickups, 8 haulage trucks, and two Coaster buses at a total cost of GH¢38.37 billion.
