NPP cannot question EC appointment after appointing own people to Commission – Kwakye Ofosu

Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has defended the appointment of Emelia Affi Agbenyo to the Electoral Commission (EC), accusing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of double standards in its criticism of the decision.

The NPP has raised concerns about the appointment, arguing that Ms Agbenyo’s previous association with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), including her role as a spokesperson on the party’s manifesto committee, could raise questions about her impartiality as the Deputy Chairperson of the commission.

But speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on Tuesday, October 13, Mr Kwakye Ofosu argued that the NPP was not in a position to question the appointment, given what he described as the party’s own record of appointing people with known political affiliations to the Commission.
