Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the government spokesperson, made the statement on Monday, June 15, during the Government Accountability Series.
Additionally, he stated that Samuel Tettey, the EC’s Deputy Chairperson in charge of Operations, had retired.

The procedures to replace the two officials have already started, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu continued. He revealed that the Council of State had received a nominee for review.
