    Kofi Adams Takes Swipe At Akufo-Addo Over Appointments At EC

    Kofi Adams, a member of parliament for Buem and a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his recent appointments to the Electoral Commission.

    The NDC lawmaker claims that by appointing partisan individuals to its board, the President is undermining the EC’s independence.

    According to Mr. Adams, President Akufo-Addo is the only president in Ghanaian history to have denigrated the Electoral Commission by filling it with only party apparatchiks.

    He claimed that while previous presidents had worked to safeguard the office’s sanctity and politicize it, Akufo-Addo has done the opposite and crammed it with NPP supporters.

    “All the other former presidents have worked to ensure the sanctity of the Electoral Commission, but that is far from President Akufo-Addo. Never has the Electoral Commission been tainted through a partisan lens than has happened in this current administration. Right from the processes leading to the removal of Charlotte Osei and her colleagues through to the appointment of Jean Mensa and others and the additions made today.”

    “The president and by extension, his government and his party have worked to destroy this independent institution that has been so much respected by all other former presidents we have had in this country. It is as though the president is not satisfied with the number of party apparatchiks at the presidency and wants to extend it to institutions that were so established by the constitution.”

    On Monday, March 20, President Akufo-Addo swore in three new members of the Electoral Commission (EC) governing board in accordance with Article 43 (1 and 2) of the 1992 Constitution.

    Rev. Akua Ofori Boateng Salima, Ahmed Tijani, and Dr. Peter Appiahene were the three.

    Dr. Peter Appiahene, according to Kofi Adams, is an NPP activist.
