The Director of Election and ICT of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has directed that a petition be filed against an official of the Electoral Commission (EC) in the Upper West Region.
Dr Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, is dragging the EC’s Upper West Regional Director to today’s IPAC meeting “for the toughest disciplinary action to be taken against” him.
The EC Regional Director at the acclamation of Ambrose Dery, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nandom Constituency also the Minister of Interior, openly confessed to be a member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) but only pretends to be neutral and apolitical because of the sensitive nature of his work.
Dr Omane Boamah, who is bewildered by the confession, has stepped out with a statement on various social media platforms, describing the admission as an act of “Impunity” which is also “Despicable”.
He wrote “I have directed that a formal petition be presented to the Upper West Regional Director of the Electoral Commission for the toughest disciplinary action to be taken against this NPP man pretending as an EC official.
