The youth wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress, (NDC), has vowed to resist the removal from office of the Electoral Commissioner, Mrs Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Opoku Amankwaa.
Reacting to the announcement on Thursday that President Akufo-Addo has removed them from office following the recommendation by the Chief Justice’s committee which was set up to investigate separate complaints brought against them, the National Youth Organiser of NDC, Sidii Abubakar Musah, said the party is more than ready to face off with the president's decision in every way possible.
"We are not going to sit down and allow this decision to go through. Everybody within our party, we are telling them that let us stand up and fight for the right things," he added.
According to Sidii Abubakar, the party will not work with anyone that the President will appoint as EC boss.
"We are going to resist it and we will not allow it to work because anybody that he Nana Addo will appoint as EC, I promise him that, the NDC will not corporate and work with that EC," Musah warned in an interview with Graphic Online.
"And I think this decision by him [President Akufo-Addo) is a recipe for disaster for this country," he said, adding that "If indeed it is true, it is better not true because if it happens, I am telling you that this country of ours is going to go through a lot of crisis."
He said the party will soon meet to decide on what to do concerning the removal of the EC boss and her two deputies from office.
"We are meeting almost immediately to sit down as party and come out with the wayforward," he said, adding that the President's decision to sack the EC boss and others indicates that "clearly Nana Akufo-Addo wants to be the Idi Amin of Ghana and that will be resisted.

I don’t even understand this, why was she only fired and not prosecuted? As for you Ndc, u can resist all you want and she’ll still remain fired.
we are not yet grateful for what the president did till she is proscuted.any one who start the smoke will surely fine fire in his or her house.
Sometimes I don't understand the security institutions in Ghana. This twerp has to be arrested immediately
Tell the people your party will not take part in future elections. Daawa konko,mutumbansa, tuusi,avu kokoro. Nobody resisted Charlotte Osei's appoinTment by your government(NDC).
let this guy and his NDC try anything silllly on this land and the will be met with FIRE AND FURY such the country has not seen before. A due constitutional process has been followed to ensure that the EC of Ghana works and u have qualms about that. Enough of their empty threats. Did he like the unending tension at the EC? did the president remove only Mrs Osei? The feuding factions had been removed. Lets moveon. But if the NDC tries any uncivilized thing, they will regret. Enough is enough
THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENT. YOU ARE NOT READY TO WORK WITH ANYBODY THE GOVERNMENT WILL BRING TO CHAIR THE EC, RIGHT? BUT OTHERS WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE CHARLOTTE OSEI RIGHT? NDC IS BEHAVING AS IF THE EC BOSS WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF THEIR PARTY. CHECK THE ACCUSATIONS EACH OF THE EC AND THE TWO DEPUTIES METED OUT TO EACH OTHER. I DON'T THINK IF THEY ALLOW THEM TOGETHER TO WORK AS A TEAM IT WILL EVEN HELP US AS A COUNTRY. LET'S LOOK AT THE SUBSTANCE OF THE MATTER AND STOP POLITICIZING EVERYTHING IN THE COUNTRY. SHE IS NOT HEADING THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION FOR NDC BUT FOR THE ENTIRE NATION.
FOOOLISH TALK
Irresponsible statement.
