Her appearance at the event said to have been organised by the Minister of Foreign Affairs an has raised ethical issue.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) activists are raising issue about her neutrality after she was also pictured and seen chatting with some of the attendees, including the Chief of Staff Frema Opare Osei Opare.

"The lady (right) is the EC boss Jean Mensah. Shocking she seems to have much proclivity for attending npp events. A referee in election? Thought, she will use the opportunity to prove us wrong. So much in a hurry to please the "man" who appointed her, she should hurry to get out when NDC assumes office in 2020. She must note that, no elections are won by the conscious making of the EC or its Boss, or any individual or group of persons. Election are won at the polling station, otherwise JJ Rawlings would have won the election of 2000, because he appointed Afari Gyan, Mahama would have won in 2016 because he appointed Charlotte Osei," an activist of the NDC posted.

Another posted: "Our EC boss seems to be more of an NPP member than Akufo Addo. She attends EVERY NPP EVENT."

Jean Mensah was appointed this year to replace Charlotte Osei, who was ousted from office for breaking procurement laws.
