EC suspends Election Steering Committee 



The Electoral Commission (EC) has suspended the 18-member Election Steering Committee following complaints that some of the members were partisan.

This was agreed upon at an Inter Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting on Friday.

Mr Osei.Bonsu Amoah, a member of IPAC and a representative of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the meeting said the EC announced at the meeting that it was putting the committee on hold and get back to the drawing board.

The pressure group, Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) and some political parties had raised concerns about the manner in which the EC set up the committee, claiming IPAC was not informed. 

LMVCA had accused the EC of playing party cards in the formation of the committee, fingering a card holding member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Karl Mark Arhin, the Deputy Executive Secretary of the National Service Scheme and Mr Francis Azumah, Executive Secretary of the National Peace Council.
