Mr. Agyapong is reported to have accused the EC boss of trading sex for her position – a statement which has roundly been criticized by civil society groups, including Nana Oye Lithur and Hanna Tetteh, who have called on the MP to retract and apologise.

Speaking in an interview with this reporter, Edmund Kyei questioned Oye Lithur and Ms. Tetteh whether they have ever condemned similar attacks directed at Mrs. Ursula Owusu Ekufful, the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West.
