Former Electoral Commission Deputy Chairperson Amadu Sulley died yesterday in Accra. People held his burial at the Madina Public Cemetery, where large numbers gathered. Many members of the Islamic community attended the funeral. They came together to honor his memory and say their final goodbyes.
Sulley began learning at Ghana National School, later renamed Richard Akwei Memorial School, in Accra. He moved on to Accra Academy and Opoku Ware School for his Ordinary and Advanced Level Certificates. He earned a Statistics Diploma from the University of Ghana in 1985. He later studied at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, finishing his Public Administration certificates by 1995.
President John Evans Atta Mills named Sulley as Deputy Chairperson of the Electoral Commission back in 2012. He previously served as Director of Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation for the Commission. His rise marked a special achievement because he became the first career electoral officer to reach that high position. He worked as Deputy Chairperson of Operations until June 2018, when leaders removed him following claims about illegal vote transfers during the 2016 elections.
Sulley devoted decades to improving Ghana's electoral system. His efforts helped shape election processes throughout the country and created lasting changes to how Ghana manages its democratic voting systems. Despite how his career ended, his contributions to building stronger electoral structures remain an important part of his legacy for the nation.
