A group calling itself Concerned Women of the Eastern region has demonstrated through the principal streets of the regional capital, Koforidua, to express their displeasure with opposition MP, Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, for alleging that the Electoral Commission (EC) Chair traded her body for her position.

The Women’s organiser for the NDC in the area as well as other leading members of the party were among hundreds of women who marched through the streets of Koforidua on Thursday to protest against the Assin Central MP.

The Member of Parliament for Assin Central had recently on a campaign platform accused Mrs. Charlotte Osei of having sexual encounters with some bigwigs in the governing NDC to be appointed EC chair.

The comments did not go down well with some sections of the public, including many civil society organisations and women groups.

The Minister of Gender Children and Social Protection subsequently requested an apology from Mr. Kennedy Agyepong on behalf of the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.

The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has also condemned Assin North Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong, for comments the Association says are “distasteful, offensive, abusive and derogatory not only to Mrs Osei but to women in general.”

Meanwhile, the NPP is yet to make an official statement on the matter.
