Affi Agbenyo’s EC appointment is constitutionally appropriate, but politically, people have the right to remind us – Haruna Iddrisu

Tamale South Member of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has stated that President John Mahama's appointment of Emelia Affi Agbenyo as one of the two new Deputy Chairpersons of the Electoral Commission is "constitutionally appropriate", although critics reserve the right to remind the NDC government of its actions in the past against similar appointments.

Beyond Article 45, 46, providing that there shall be an Electoral Commission, which shall have two deputies, we must have legislation which then defines a threshold as to who can enter into the Electoral Commission."I share this crude idea with you: anytime people get worried about appointments to the Electoral Commission, you know I've supervised the Electoral Commission, even as its Chairman and Vice-Chairman, in terms of their budget for seven years.
