Pressure group, Fix the Country Movement, has petitioned the President against the Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC) Jean Mensa over the issues of the people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi and Likpe (SALL) in the Oti region.

They are invoking the constitutional processes for the removal of the Chair and Deputies of the Electoral Commission.

The petitioners comprise lawyers, academics, students, public and private sector employees, unemployed and homeless Ghanaians, and cuts across all political persuasions and ethnicity.

Grounds for the Petition

“The petition has been brought in connection with the intentional denial of the right to vote of the people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lololi and Likpe in the 2020 general parliamentary elections.

“The petitioners assert that the actions of the impugned officials, if considered in context and in light of their preceding and subsequent conduct, meets the threshold of stated misbehaviour and, or incompetence as required under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution for the removal of these officials,” it said.

Why have the Petitioners taken this step?

“In presenting this petition, the Petitioners have chosen to place their trust in a 1992 Constitution they believe to still be alive.

“The Petitioners have faith that the normal constitutional processes contemplated by the Constitution to avenge infractions against it and our democracy will be upheld without fear nor favour; and that their standing as mere citizens of this Republic does not disable them from obtaining justice, in preserve of our Constitution.”

What are the Next Steps?

“The Supreme Court has held that the President on receipt of a petition brought under Article 146 acts only as a conveyor belt, who has no choice but to transmit the petition to the Chief Justice.

“The Chief Justice then has the duty to determine whether a prima facie case has been established in accordance with law. After that, a Committee consisting of three Judges and two others appointed by the Chief Justice will be put in place to investigate the petition.

“We expect that as the President has done in previous times, he will act with necessary dispatch and have the necessary democratic integrity to not to frustrate efforts to protect our Constitution and constitutional rights. **Public release of the Content of the Petition.”

“The Supreme Court has in a string of decisions held that the contents of a petition brought under Article 146 of the Constitution cannot be made public in order to protect the privacy interest of the Article 146 holders.

“While the Petitioners find it bizarre that the Supreme Court will aid public office holders to assert non-existent personal privacy interests in grave matters of public interest and in connection with the performance of their duties, they have reticently agreed to embargo the release of the full content of the petition.”
