The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Titus Glover, says Ghanaians will ultimately judge President John Dramani Mahama\u2019s administration over its decisions, including the appointment of Emelia Afi Agbenyo as a Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC).<\/p>\n
Speaking on Adom FM\u2019s Dwaso Nsem<\/em><\/strong>, Mr Glover criticised the appointment, arguing that it raised concerns about political neutrality in state institutions.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can appoint whoever they want to the Electoral Commission. Ghanaians will make a decision on December 7,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Mr Glover accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of applying inconsistent standards in its criticism of previous EC officials.<\/p>\n He recalled concerns raised by the NDC about former EC Deputy Chairperson Dr Bossman Asare and the Commission\u2019s Director of Information Technology, arguing that the party\u2019s position on the current appointment appeared inconsistent with its earlier criticisms.<\/p>\n \u201cThey accused Bossman Asare of being an NPP member without substantial evidence and made so much noise about him and the Director of IT. But now, we have an NDC member as a Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n The NPP National Organiser warned that perceived political influence over state institutions could undermine public confidence in their impartiality.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are now politicising every state institution. If you are not affiliated with the \u2018green\u2019 party, you cannot benefit from anything,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Mr Glover\u2019s comments come amid ongoing political debate over Afi Agbenyo\u2019s appointment and concerns raised by the NPP about her alleged political affiliations and the Electoral Commission\u2019s neutrality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Titus Glover, says Ghanaians will ultimately judge President John Dramani Mahama\u2019s administration over its decisions, including the appointment of Emelia Afi Agbenyo as a Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC).
