Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has described as politically sinful the appointment of politically exposed persons as Commissioners of the Electoral Commission of Ghana. “It’s politically unholy & Constitutionally Demonic for our EC to be populated by NPP party apparatchiks such as Jean Mensah, Bossman Asare, Dr. Serebuor, Mr. Tetteh, Dr. Atuahene who’re all dye in the wool elephants,” he wrote in a Twitter post sighted by GhanaWeb. There has been uproar against two of three newly sworn-in commissioners of Ghana’s Electoral Commission by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The NDC also alleges that Hajia Salima Ahmed Tijani is an activist of the ruling party, and that her immediate family has deep roots in the NPP. However, pro-government and New Patriotic Party elements have refuted the claims by the NDC.
