In recent discussions, Prof. Gyampo emphasised the pivotal role of Bossman Asare, the Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, referring to him as the ‘NAPO’ within the commission. This designation suggests that Asare is viewed as a key influencer, akin to a ‘big man’ in the political arena, reflecting his significant impact on electoral processes and decisions. Prof. Gyampo’s remarks underscore the perception that Asare’s leadership is crucial as the EC prepares for future elections, particularly in addressing concerns about electoral integrity and transparency.
The conversation aired on TV3, highlighting the importance of the EC’s independence and its ability to conduct free and fair elections, especially amidst rising political tension as Ghana approaches its next electoral cycle. Bossman Asare’s involvement is not only pivotal in shaping electoral policies but also in maintaining public trust in the Commission. This commentary comes amid broader discussions on electoral reforms and mechanisms that could enhance democratic practices in the country, further solidifying the essential role of figures like Asare in Ghana’s political landscape.
