Her comments were in response to questions about her absence at President Mahama’s swearing-in on January 7.

Jean Mensa explained that the commission follows a long-standing policy regarding such events.

“I was in the country, but as a policy, the chairperson, deputies, and other commission members do not attend swearing-in ceremonies unless officially invited. We did not receive any invitation.

“I know dignitaries and special guests are usually invited, but for as long as we have been in office, the commission has never attended any swearing-in ceremony,” she stated.
