A 24-year-old journalist
with Accra-based Class91.3FM, Desmond Decker, has picked
up forms to become a
member of the Council of State.
As
of Tuesday January 17, Mr Decker was the only one to have picked up a form at
the Electoral Commission’s Greater Accra office.
Mr
Decker will become Ghana’s youngest member of the Council of State if he is
voted for by an electoral college.
The
EC on Monday, 16 January announced that it would hold elections for regional
representatives to the Council of State on Thursday February 9, 2017.
In
a release signed by Head of Communications Eric Kofi Dzakpasu, the EC said it
would be accepting nominations from prospective candidates for the election at
its regional offices from Friday January 20 to Thursday January 26, 2017 from
8:00am to midday and from 2pm to 4pm daily.
The
venues for the regional elections are, however, yet to be determined by the commission.
To
be eligible to contest the poll, applicants must be Ghanaian, of sound mind, be
eligible to contest, and be native to or resident in the regions they seek to
represent.
