Threats and Abuse of Children: Charlotte Osei finally speaks on challenges she faced as EC chair

Charlotte Osei, the former chairperson of the Electoral Commission, has explained that chairing Ghana’s electoral body came with some level of discomfort for her and her family.

In a yet-to-be-aired interview with Joy FM, Charlotte Osei disclosed that there were threats against her life.

Charlotte Osei stated that on a number of occasions she received death threats via her mail as well as security cautions from security personnel assigned to her.

She also shared how her children suffered some unfortunate experiences in school due to the role she occupied in the country.

“There were threats. Some came through the mail and sometimes the security agencies called to warn me. My family had a very difficult time because I had young kids and sometimes even at school, they’d be abused,” she said.

Charlotte Osei served as the chairperson of the Electoral Commission from 2015 to 2018, where she was removed under quite controversial circumstances.

Earlier this year, Charlotte Osei was enstooled as Safohen in the Oguaa Traditional Area (Cape Coast).

The former EC boss was given the stool name Safohen Nana Ama Kesson, according to a post shared on Facebook.

As Safohen of Nkum Asafo Group number 4, Charlotte Osei is now a leader of the warrior group, 3news.com reports.
