“it is impossible for the Electoral Commission to be influenced by government because our processes are so transparent and so inclusive that it is impossible for the Electoral Commission itself to even manipulate...one election day, if you want to influence the process, you have to change your election sheet and change all the result sheets being held by all the candidates’ agents… So it is really impossible” says chairperson of the Electoral commission, Charlotte Osei.
Madam Osei and the Commission have been accused of being in bed with the ruling government; doing everything possible to make them (NDC) win the upcoming elections.
Speaking in an interview with the BBC on Thursday, Charlotte Osei said "there are seven of us at the Commission, there is head office directors, regional directors. We are going to be working with about almost 146,000 staff on election day; and at the 29,000 polling stations and coalition centers, all candidates and parties have agents there...the way the Ghanaian system works, the process is so strong that it is difficult for persons to interfere with it,” she said.

i have always said this woman is a marine spirit she and John Mahama want blood after the elections to satisfy their underwater godess, but she lie bad when the spirit of the people come together no spirit can stop it except the true God. She is bent on creating confusion and chaos in the aftermath of the election we shall chase her out of Ghana, kwashia julor aye
EVEN UNDER KWADWO AFARI GYAN, THERE WERE IRREGULARITIES IN THE PINK SHEET SERIEL NUMBERS, THERE WERE BLOTTED BALLOT PAPERS. WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO RIG THE ELECTION FOR NDC. THE COMISSIONERS IN THE EC OFFICE ARE PUSHING YOU TO DO WHAT THEY WANT. YOU CAN'T DECIDE FOR YOURSELF AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM GHANA IS FACING NOW. NDC IS PLANNING TO RIG WITH PINK SHEETS, BALLOT PAPERS AND COLLATION SHEETS. GHANAIANS ARE WATCHING YOU CRITICALLY AND EC BOSS WILL PAY FOR ANY PROBLEM THAT WILL ARISE
Ghanianns should watch this Nigerian woman carefully. She is leading this country into the ditch. I can see clearly she is under instructions to do every thing possible to for Mahama to win the election. It will not happen in ghana today, tomorrow or next tomorrow. By her incompetent attitude and some utterances of her has made Dr Afari a saint over night. After this election, the NPP should sack her from office and bring an open minded, unbiased and competent Ghanaian to occupy that position.
upon all the so called mechanism we had 27,0 and Adwoa Safo's constituency was shambolic. All your actions as an independent body had proven that your have taken sides already.Why is the NDC very quick in defending every action of yours and they were the only party who never saw anything wrong with the filing fees and the disqualification.
Ghanaians should WATCH 'THIS WOMAN" very well. She is shifting attention from pertinent questions about this elections. WHO IS PRINTING BALLOT PAPERS? WHERE IS THE REGISTER? WHERE ARE THE POLLING STATIONS, ETC. WATCH HER CAREFULLY! CHANGE IS COMING!
REGION Polling Stations WESTERN 2,936 CENTRAL 2,480 GREATER ACCRA 4,760 VOLTA 2,494 EASTERN 3,235 ASHANTI 5,182 BRONG AHAFO 2,958 NORTHERN 2,676 UPPER EAST 1,222 UPPER WEST 978 TOTAL 28,921 My question to the EC is, what are they going to do with the 79 unknown polling Stations? Or the register is blotted so the polling stations also must be blotted to help them rig the election?. So the EC can not give us an accurate figure in anything they do. Oh Ghana..God save us all.
Charlotte, what you are saying is a lie. We all know the NDC gowt. are the decision makers for you. They told you to disqualify some parties and individuals and you did. Shame on you. You have been exposed.
liar......we will attack u where ever u go should u lead this country into chaos.....evil woman...you think u can risk your the future of young ghanaians bcos of your comfort.....
