A convenor for the 'Concerned Voters Movement', Mr Razak Kojo Opoku has blamed former President John Dramani Mahama for appointing inexperienced, egoistic and divisive Mrs. Charlotte Osei as a Chairperson for Electoral Commission during his administration.
Mr Razak Opoku has joined some Ghanaians who are calling on the EC boss to side aside for investigation.
Speaking to the reporter, Daniel Kaku, Mr Razak Opoku said the leadership style of Charlotte Osei who was appointed by Ex-Prez John Mahama has totally destroyed the credibility and integrity of the Commission.
He also added, "for the first time in our political history since 1992, Electoral Commissioners are at risk of possible impeachment all because of the arrogance of Charlotte Osei".
"H.E. J. J. Rawlings appointed Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan as the EC Boss, and there was stability and utmost cooperation between the Commissioners and the entire staff of EC throughout his tenure as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, from 1993 to 2015 ( 22 years)"
"H.E. J.J. Rawlings respected the conditions of seniority, chain of command, order of authority and competence in the appointment of Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan as the Chairman of the EC"
"Before then, Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan was the Deputy Chairman(Operations), to Justice Josiah Ofori Boateng, chairman of the Interim National Electoral Commission in 1992"
"In June 2015 after the compulsory retirement of Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan, H.E. John Mahama disrespected the common sense and practical procedures adopted by H.E. J.J. Rawlings in the appointment of Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission"
"H.E. John Mahama appointed inexperienced, egoistic, divisive, arrogant and rude personality as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission"
"Just only one year in office as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, there is total instability, lack of cooperation, total breakdown of organizational structure, allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement, accusations with counter-accusations, insubordination, lack of respect and trust at the Electoral Commission"
"Our independent EC is collapsing, losing relevance and respect due to the incompetent nature of Charlotte Osei as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission"
"The leadership style of Charlotte Osei appointed by John Mahama has totally destroyed the credibility and integrity of the Electoral Commission"
"For the first time in our political history since 1992, EC Commissioners are at risk of possible impeachment all because of the arrogance of Charlotte Osei".
