Joy News presenter, Israel Laryea has come on the defense of the EC‘s chairperson, Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensa amid prerecorded 2020 presidential results declaration claims by some Ghanaians.
Mrs. Jean Mensah declared President Akufo-Addo the winner of the presidential poll which was held on Monday, December 7, 2020.
According to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, Akufo-Addo won over 51 per cent of votes while his main contender John Mahama polled over 47 per cent.
On the night of the declaration the EC chairperson while addressing the media, other officials present at the Accra International Conference Centre and Ghanaians who were watching her on Tv and those who were listening to her on their radio, greeted ‘good afternoon’ instead of ‘good evening’ and this sparked controversies that she prerecorded the video and played it to Ghanaians.
