The Supreme Court has fixed Tuesday, July 31, 2018 to hear the case brought before it by Fafali Nyonator, a women activist who is seeking to restrain the President of the Republic from appointing a new person to occupy the position of the Electoral Commissioner until the final determination of an earlier case she filed at the Supreme Court.

[ads1]Ms. Nyonator is in the Supreme Court challenging the legality of the process of getting Mrs. Charlotte Osei removed from office.

Mrs. Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Opoku Amankwah were dismissed y the President following recommendations of a Committee set-up by the Chief Justice to investigate some allegations brought against her by a group of staff at the EC and a private citizen of Ghana, Emmanuel Korsi Senyo.

Three days ago, the President has nominated Mrs. Jean Mensa as the new Chairperson of the Electoral Commission despite the court case, this some legal practitioner said the appointment could face severe legal hurdles.
