Newly appointed EC Deputy Chairperson a “dyed-in-the-wool” member of the NDC – Dennis Miracles Aboagye

New Patriotic Party (NPP)Communications Director Dennis Miracles Aboagye has actually explained recently selected Electoral Commission (EC) Deputy Chairperson Emilia Afi Agbenyo as a “dyed-in-the-wool” member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He made the remarks on Joy News on Monday, October 12, 2026, following her visit by the President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama.

Mr Aboagye questioned her capability to stay politically neutral in the discharge of her tasks, mentioning her supposed previous political associations and public assistance for the NDC.

According to him, Ms Agbenyo acted as an unique assistant to Mahama Ayariga when he was Deputy Minister of Education throughout the very first Mahama administration.

He declared that she had actually honestly revealed assistance for the NDC and pointed out a social networks post he credited to her, which got in touch with Ghanaians to choose John Mahama in the 2020 elections.

“This is a girl that is being offered to us as someone that can separately guide the affairs of our election,” he stated.

Mr Aboagye argued that the visit raised issues about the self-reliance and neutrality anticipated of authorities accountable for managing elections.

He even more implicated the NDC of neglecting the concepts of self-reliance, responsibility and political neutrality in the visit, firmly insisting that public self-confidence in the Electoral Commission was necessary to safeguarding Ghana’s democracy.

He questioned why the governing celebration had actually not designated somebody whose political association would not bring in comparable issues.

The claims show Mr Aboagye’s position on the visit. A reaction from Ms Agbenyo to the accusations was not consisted of in his remarks.
