CPP unhappy about recent appointments at EC-Regional Chairman

The Convention's People Party (CPP) says the party is highly disappointed about the recent appointment made by President John Dramani Mahama to the Electoral Commission (EC).

The party's concerns followed the appointment of Mrs Emelia Afi Agbenyo and Dr Joseph Kweku Asamoah, as Deputy Chairpersons of the EC.

According to Mr Ali Dayinday, the Bono Regional Chairman of the CPP it was unfortunate and disturbing that successive National Democratic Party (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) governments tried to undermine the independence of the nation's electoral management body.

In an interview with Sompa FM in Sunyani, Mr Dayinday emphasized that the CPP was worried about those appointments, saying that it weakened the independence of the EC as a constitutional body.

Mr Dayinday regretted that: Today both the NDC and the NPP are turning the EC into party affiliations and it's a mistake the nation is doing".

Touching on the preparation of the CPP ahead of the Election 2028, Mr Dayinday said the party was electing its constituency and regional executives to strategize for the Elections.
