24-year-old makes Council of State bid
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.
