The Electoral Commission (EC) has urged Ghanaians to disregard news that the Electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensah has contracted the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
This comes immediately after news circulated on social media that the EC Chairperson has been infected with the disease.
In a statement, signed by the Acting Public Affairs Director at the EC, Sylvia Annoh, the EC denied the publications, stating that it is false and malicious.
“The Commission wishes to state categorically that this is an outright lie and a figment of the author’s warped imagination. The Commission wishes to state that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission is well and at post. She has not tested positive for the coronavirus,” the EC stated.
