Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, yesterday charged the Electoral Commission (EC) to uphold transparency in the discharge of their duty.

She also urged them to refrain from suppressing the truth in the lead-up to the December elections.

Prof.Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang made this statement yesterday during her official unveiling at the University of Professional Studies, Accra(UPSA) auditorium.

“So, the electoral commission is struggling to defend its credibility and until the commission tells us that the equipment means nothing, everyone should believe that there are no issues to worry about. How did disrespect get so high? Actions that impoverish and disenfranchise do not necessarily translate into mindedness in people who are angry, hungry and in people who are oppressed,” she stated.

She further added “On the contrary, again check the details in our history. Electoral Commission, I address you directly. It is in the national interest and in your own interest to make transparent what has been and is going on in your establishment. “

“The truth will not be suppressed. you cannot be so independent as to disregard the people who validate your existence. it cannot happen anywhere. EC, a word to the wise is n Assin North,” she stated.
