The ruckus continues as varied opinions on the Electoral Commission Chair, Mrs. Charlotte Osei emerge. There has been a mix-bag of reactions from politicians, public figures and sections of the public following the calls by some concerned workers of the institution for an impeachment of the Chair.

While many have criticized and hurled accusations and insults at the EC Boss, levelling a number of allegations against her, quite a number of others have lauded Mrs. Osei’s efforts at steering the affairs of the commission since her appointment as Chairperson.
The Akim Youth Advocate, is the latest to join the fray and for him, Mrs. Charlotte Osei is “the best thing that has happened to the EC”. And a good example for all women to follow, and to help push women to power.

And any attempt to impeach her will be a treat to our democracy. According to them, no president in the history of Ghana has impeach the chairperson of the the Electoral Commission.

Are we fighting to bring democracy down after after 25 years of practicing? they asked. The youth further explained that we should all as Ghanaian stand against that impeachment if will want to continue democracy.

They described the EC boss as a “reformist” who has transformed the state of affairs at the commission since her assumption of office adding that he would unhesitantly, defend her to the core.

They also made it clear that when the President was appointing the chief Justice there was a lot of badmouth that he will control the chief Justice, all eyes is on the Chief Justice if he will indeed impeach her as a woman.

We should all help promote women quality, they said.

“President Nana Akufo-Addo has rightfully forwarded the petition to the Chief Justice her Ladyship Justice Sophia Akuffo. I believe that we should allow the legal processes to work. A legal process has been set in motion subject to our constitution, we should allow it to work. I will say with confidence that I know that Charlotte will come out of this let us all support women”, they stated.
