Late yesterday evening, Thursday 28th June 2018, news broke that the president of Ghana has dismissed the chairperson of the electoral commission of Ghana, Mrs. Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Ms. Georgina Amankwah and Mr. Amadu Sulley.

According to the statement of dismissal, the president acted on a recommendation from the committee set up the Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo to investigate the petition filed by staff of the ECC detailing financial misappropriation and other allegations against the EC heads.

The Committee report submitted to the president recommended dismissal of the EC leaders on the grounds of “misbehavior and incompetence”.
