Ousted chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei set the record straight over a viral poster suggesting that she was interested in running for the vacant Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Describing the poster as fake, the experienced lawyer emphatically stated that she is not a registered member of any political party in the country and does not have any interest in running for any parliamentary seat.

“I am not and have never been a registered member of any political party in Ghana or anywhere in the world,” she stated in a post on Instagram.

She also said she did not reside in Ayawaso West Wuogon and, so, she does not even qualify to run for MP there.

“I have no interest whatsoever in running for Parliament and have never had that interest. Please, find better use of your artistic talent than mischief-making,” Mrs Osei posted on Wednesday, 12 December 2018.

Several names have popped up over the seat that became vacant after Mr Emmanuel Kyeremanteng Agyarko died in November this year after an illness.

Some of the notable names include the two widows of the late MP, Actor turned politician, John Dumelo, Son of Former President Kufuor, Chief Kufuor among others.
