The NDC had strongly criticised President Akufo-Addo’s decision to nominate Jean Mensa as Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC).
Mrs. Jean Mensah is unfit to be EC Chair, the party said, insisting she has strong ties with the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The approval of the president's nominees is expected to pave the way for their swearing in ahead of December's referendum on the creation of new regions and next year's assembly elections.
Mrs Osei is credited with organising one of the best general elections held in Ghana.
