Sideline Osafo-Maafo in your next govt - Ghanaians to Akufo-Addo A day after the Electoral Commission of Ghana led by Jean Mensa made the official declaration of the presidential results, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appointed his Transition Team, in accordance with the Presidential (Transition) Act, 2012, Act (845). Per the laws the incumbent president is allowed to appoint amongst others, the head of presidential staff, Attorney-General, Ministers of Presidential Affairs, Finance, Interior, Defence, Foreign Affairs. However, some Ghanaians appeared unhappy when they sighted the name of the Senior Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo as a member of the Transition Team. According to them, some of his acts during Akufo-Addo’s first term as president contributed to the ruling government’s struggle to retain power.
