Mrs Osei, who was appointed Chairperson of the EC in June 2015 by the President, has come under criticism from a section of the public over the decision of the commission not to replace the current voters’ register, which some political players have described as flawed.

"I am totally certain that we are going to have elections that are peaceful, that are transparent, inclusive and credible but we need the support and the active involvement of all Ghanaians.
