    Three new members have been sworn in to work for the Ghanaian Electoral Commission (EC) by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

    They are Salima Armed Tijani, Dr. Peter Appiahene, and Rev. Akua Ofori Boateng.

    They take the place of Mrs. Rebecca Kabukie Adjalo, Mr. Ebenezer Aggrey-Fynn, and Mrs. Hajia Sa-Adatu Maida, who have all retired.

    They now work alongside Mrs. Jean Mensa, Mr. Samuel Tettey, Dr. Bossman Eric Asare, Ms. Adwoa Asuama Abrefa, and Mrs. Jean Mensa as Chairperson, Deputy Chairman for Operations, Deputy Chairman for Corporate, and Commissioner, respectively.

    According to Article 43 (1 and 2) of the 1992 Constitution, their appointment is in accordance with, “there shall be an Electoral Commission which shall consist of a chairman, two deputy chairmen, and four other members.”

    The members of the commission shall be appointed by President under article 70 of this Constitution.”

    On Monday, March 20, 2023, at a brief swearing-in ceremony held at the Jubilee House, Nana Addo noted that the three had taken the oaths of office, allegiance, and secrecy “have come to the office some 21 months to the 2024 general elections and at a time when Ghana seeks to entrench her credentials as a beacon of democracy in Africa.”

    At the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR), Dr. Peter Appiahene served as the patron of the NPP’s student wing, TESCON.

    Three individuals, including Dr. Appiahene, a lecturer, were sworn in by Nana Addo as new members of the EC.

    He has been a TESCON Patron for the past eight years, and after Nana Addo was sworn in as president in 2017, he was being considered for a political appointment.

    Hajia Salima Ahmed Tijani
