Mr Otchere-Darko pointed out that the EC Chair, Jean Mensa is not comfortable with the police and military presence but has to endure to safeguard her life.

In a social media post, the founder of Danquah Institute said, “This woman, the returning officer for the presidential election, has had her life threatened multiple times from all manner of corners. Her character insulted, her integrity denigrated and the threats to her life heightened to the highest dangerous point that any public servant should endure, for the security services to consider it appropriate to offer her the highest form of protection they could”.

“Her security at home, office, and around her 24-7, is made up of a combination of soldiers and police. I am not sure she enjoys the security attention but she understands she has to endure it and some of us have a problem with that?” he asked.
