He is one of two appointees who would replace Dr Eric Bossman Asare and Mr Samuel Tettey.
Dr Joseph Kwaku Asamoah, a law lecturer at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and former finance director at the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, has been appointed Deputy Chairperson of the EC. This appointment comes amid recent senior leadership changes at the Commission, following the departure of two deputy chairpersons.
Dr Asamoah's appointment brings extensive experience in electoral administration, law, finance, and democratic governance to the role, having overseen several major electoral exercises in Ghana, including the 2012 and 2016 general elections, as well as the 2019 referendum on the creation of six new regions. His responsibilities in the EC included managing extensive budgets, strengthening financial control systems, and developing training programs for electoral officials.
Dr Asamoah is not only a law lecturer but also a lawyer, chartered accountant, and certified economist. He brings legal knowledge, financial expertise, and public policy insights to the Commission, which are expected to strengthen electoral processes and enhance public confidence in democratic governance.
