According to him, there are more experienced electoral officers than these professionals, who may be risked in conducting such an exercise for the first time. But speaking on TV3’s Eye on the Seat on Sunday, Mr Ampofo, who is also a Vice Chairman of the NDC, expressed disapproval of the move, saying the two bodies especially GBA are politicized. “I am taking [the matter] up at IPAC,” Mr Ampofo added. The use of lawyers and accountants will not be definite, he said, as the recruitment process will be open.
