President Nana Akufo-Addo has been petitioned to remove EC deputy chairs Ms. Georgina Opoku Amakwa and Mr Amadu Sulley.
The petitioner, a statement from the Director of Communications at the Flagstaff House Eugene Arhin said, is asking that the president invokes the provisions of Article 146(3) of the Constitution to impeach the two: Ms. Georgina Opoku Amakwa and Mr Amadu Sulley.
The petition was filed by one Emmanuel Korsi Senyo, a concerned citizen of Ghana and delivered on 25th July, 2017, the statement said.

“President Akufo-Addo, pursuant to the terms of Article 146(3), has, thus, referred both petitions to the Chief Justice for resolution, in accordance with the provisions of Article 146(3),” the statement said.
Mrs Osei has accused her two deputies of insubordination and separately accused them of signing illegal contract and illegal vote transfer.
Her deputies have separately denied the allegations levelled against her.
