This has generated a lot of criticism for Jean Mensa and the Electoral Commission on social media.
On Friday, December 11, 2020, information began to circulate on social media that Ms. Mensa had traveled from Ghana to the United States.

But in quick response, the EC has issued a statement stating that the information is false and adding that Jean Mensa and all the other commissioners were at the post.
“The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to information circulating on social media stating that its president traveled outside the country after declaring the results of the 2020 presidential elections.
We wish to state that Ms. Jean Mensa, President of the Electoral Commission, as well as all the Commissioners are in office complying with their legally entrusted obligations.
“The public is therefore urged to ignore this fake news,” the statement said.
