The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Akuapem South,in the Eastern Region, Hon. Osei Bonsu Amoah has attacked allegations made by minority parliamentarians accusing the presidency of being behind the petition to remove the chairperson of the Electoral Commission from office.

“It is unfortunate that somebody like the minority leader will jump in and start accusing the President of trying to push people away as he has done in other public services”

According to Hon. Osei Bonsu Amoah, the writings were clear on the wall there are deep divisions between the EC Chairperson, Madam Charlotte Osei and her deputies currently under Economic Unit Crime Organization’s (EOCO) investigations.

“Some of us knew it could come to this because of what has been going on and this is how far they have come”, the lawmaker stated on Joy FM’s Newsfile analysis show.

“There was no need at all for the Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu to jump on it ….. …I respect him so much as my junior brother at the bar”, indicating he went overboard when he led latest National Democratic Congress (NDC) to address a press conference to level those allegations against President Akufo-Addo.

“We are aware of these divisions that have come today” stating the minority parliamentarians have little or no knowledge of the issues they spoke to.

Hon. Osei Bonsu Amoah is represents NPP at EC’s Inter Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting for every registered political party in the country.
