Peacefmonline.com can confirm that President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has dismissed from office Madam Charlotte Osei, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), together with her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Opoku Amankwah.
Their removal from office takes immediate effect.
According to a statement signed by the Minister of Information, Mustapha Hamid and copied Peacefmonline.com, their dismissal "comes after a committee set up by the Chief Justice, Justice Sophia Akuffo, pursuant to Article 146(4) of the Constitution, to investigate separate complaints brought against the three persons by Ghanaian citizens, recommended their removal from office".
The statement further indicated that, "the Committee recommended their removal on the basis of stated misbehavior and incompetence, pursuant to Article 146 (1) of the Constitution".
Additionally, the three persons have been directed by the President, who thanked them for their services to the nation, to hand over their respective schedules to the Director for Human Resource and General Services of the EC.
“The provisions of Article 146 (9) of the Constitution require the President of the Republic to act in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee," the statement said.

We were minding our business, until they started spilling the beans, and we were intrigued. The evil that men do lives after them.
Let me here, very suitably, borrow the popular phrase of Ex-President Mahama, to wit ' I can't think far' to expose NDC of a baseless biased allegation against NPP in implicating same in the removal of the 3 commissioners. Indeed, the 3 commissioners who petitioned the CJ to take action as per the report of the committee set by the CJ thereupon, to deliberate on the prima facie case as established by the CJ against the three, were appointed by the NDC. Invariably, I wished I could not think far to establish the tenability of the NDC's allegation against the NPP in this regard. Asem s€ b€!
all those block head pro ndc commentators here attacking the decision of the president are stone age an1mals, did the president unilaterally dismiss those 3 nation wreckers was there not accusations and counter accusation from these three and petition given to the president and he forwarded it to the chief justice for the necessary action, fuuuuls, i always say ndc will always be at the wrong side of the law because they are so lawless and act before they think. Akuffo Addo ayekoo for sacking that john mahama girl friend who has been planted there to do the bidding of ndc, they would remain in opposition for a long time to come especially when they are not ready to register for the Ghana card, kwashia buuuuului, juloi nation wreckers (ndc)

Ghana will be very sweet under nana addo. Such a bad luck president. He is the only president that can bring disaster to Ghana. One person become president to collapse GFA and now electoral commission. If you look at the way he is going, he will eventually create a major problem for the people of this country. Look at how NIA are rejecting voter ID. An ID that brought you to power is now rejected, which means your election is illegal. There is an orchestrated attempt to create a problem for Ghana where there is none. I hope in the coming days there is no unrest in the country.
