They wanted him out, and they did it – Adwoa Safo on Prof Oquaye’s exit

In a recent statement, Adwoa Safo, the Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, expressed her views on the resignation of Professor Samuel Oquaye from his position as Chairman of the Electoral Commission. Safo indicated that Oquaye's departure was orchestrated by individuals who sought to remove him from office. She emphasized that this move was not only a personal attack but also detrimental to the democratic processes in Ghana. According to her, Oquaye's tenure had been marked by significant contributions and expertise that are hard to replace. She lamented the potential impact of his exit on the integrity and credibility of future elections in the country. Safo called for unity among political actors to ensure that such politically motivated removals do not undermine Ghana’s democratic institutions. Her remarks reflect broader concerns about political maneuvering within electoral bodies and highlight the need for safeguarding these institutions from undue influence. The situation underscores ongoing debates regarding political interference and its implications for governance in Ghana.
