The Electoral Commission’s Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations Amadu Sulley has said he is seeking legal advice in connection with an allegation made against him by the election management body’s chairperson Mrs Charlotte Osei.
While responding to 27 allegations including fraud and financial malfeasance made against her by some concerned staff of the EC, Mrs Osei made a direct allegation at Mr Sulley saying:
“The Deputy Chairperson Operations collected funds above GHS6m (Six million Ghana cedis) in cash from some political parties for the organisation of party primaries without recourse to the structures of the Commission, and without the involvement of the finance department of the Commission. Political party primaries were treated as a private commercial project by the Deputy Chairperson Ops, with funds paid directly into the personal accounts of key staff for functions to be performed for party primaries.
“The Deputy Chairperson Operations has persistently instructed officials to carry out illegal vote transfers on the Voter management System in clear breach of the law and operational policies of the Commission. Such actions have major implications for the integrity of the work of the Commission and constitute abuse of office,” Mrs Osei added.
Mr Sulley has not spoken on the matter so far except to indicate in a text message to Accra-based Starr FM that: “I want to assure you that it’s not true. I have all the documents and I am going for legal advice”.

But this story is not about Haruna Idrisu
Huruna Iddrisu was one young and intelligent politician who had the chance to one day to have become holder of Ghana's highest office. Bust Since NDC went into opposition and he assumed the office of Minority Leader in parliament, it seems his intelligence and objectivity is gradually being in doubt and am afraid if he is not careful, he will commit political suicide and damage his chances. Haruna, please try as much as possible to have the facts before you speak because if you follow some of the people like Koku who do not have any credibility among Ghanaians, you will sink your bright political carrier with them.
ALL NDC PARTY MEMBERS ARE FU*UU*UULS AND NATION-WRECKERS.THEY DON'T REASON AND CARE ABOUT INTEREST OF GHANA. HOW CAN NDC PARTY CALLED IT WITCH-HUNTING FOR GHANAIANS TO PROBE INTO THE ACTIVITIES OF EC BOSS WHO ACCORDING TO SECTION OF EC EMPLOYEES HAS MISAPPROPRIATED GHANAIAN TAXPAYERS MONEY?
As for Haruna Iddrisu the least said about him the better. If this is the way he has chosen to pursue his ambition to become NDC flagbearer then he has a long way to go.
p3p3nin Haruna Iddrisu says these are all NPP machinations. He implies Bottoooom Power Osei is untouchable and she is above the law. Therefore, everybody should kow tow to Bottooooom Power because she can do no wrong. Kwasssssshiiia p3p3nin
THE NDC IF HAD BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER MANDATE WOULD HAVE BANKRUPT GHANA FOR GOOD. THEIR EVIL ACTIONS WOULD BE UNFOLDED ONE AFTER THE OTHER.
..and Huruna Iddrisu says the stories we hear in the media is orchestrated by the NPP? This level of acrimony going on WITHIN the EC? Let's think GHANA for a moment!
