The Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson, Mrs Jean Mensa, is expected to mount the witness box to testify in the ongoing election petition by former President John Dramani Mahama.
Mr Mahama, the petitioner, is challenging the 2020 presidential election verdict and has accused the EC Chairperson of being biased, as cited in the witness statement of the General Secretary of the opposition NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.
The petitioner is praying for a second election.
