The Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) and the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) have jointly urged the President of Ghana, John Mahama, to advise the Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Emelia Affi Agbenyo, to resign. The call comes in response to concerns over Agbenyo's political affiliation with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In an interview with Eyewitness News, Paul Aborampah Mensah, CDD-Ghana's Programmes Manager, argued that the appointment of Agbenyo could undermine public confidence in Ghana's election management system. Aborampah emphasized the need to protect the independence of state institutions, stating that a change in government should not affect the leadership and operations of key national institutions.
CODEO also expressed its concern over Agbenyo's political activities in support of the NDC prior to the 2024 elections, noting that her appointment could affect the credibility of the Electoral Commission. The organization stated that while they recognize Mahama's constitutional authority to appoint whoever he wants, the appointment of Agbenyo may have serious consequences for the country's democratic processes.
