Change mode of appointing EC chair – Prof Albert Puni
Governance Expert, Professor Albert Puni has called for a change in the way Chairpersons of the Electoral Commission (EC) and the other commissioners are appointed in Ghana.
He said the current status quo where the president appoints the commissioners creates an impression that they become subject of control by the head of state, a situation he said, reduces public confidence in the body.
Professor Albert Puni said in an interview on 3FM Sunrise Morning Show Tuesday, December 15 that “the appointment of this office by the president makes the opposition parties suspicious of the electoral commission’s duty”.
