Alhaji Amadu Sulley, a former Deputy Chairperson of Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC), has died.

His passing occurred on the afternoon of Saturday, March 1, 2025, and in line with Islamic customs, his burial rites are set for Sunday, March 2.

A statement from his family, as shared by 3news, confirmed his demise and invited Muslim brothers and sisters, friends, and loved ones to participate in the burial rites.

The funeral will take place at his residence, followed by interment at the Madina Muslim Cemetery in Accra.

The family highlighted that he passed away while observing the first fast of Ramadan, a moment they considered spiritually significant.

"To Allah be the glory. May Allah forgive him and grant all our departed souls Jannat Firdaus," the statement read.

Alhaji Sulley previously served as the EC’s Deputy Chairperson in charge of Operations until June 2018, when he was dismissed by then-President Nana Akufo-Addo. His removal, along with that of EC Chairperson Charlotte Osei and fellow deputy Georgina Opoku Amankwaa, followed an investigation into allegations of misconduct and incompetence.

During his tenure, he played a key role in overseeing the operational aspects of the 2016 general elections. His leadership, however, was marked by controversy, including internal conflicts and accusations of financial mismanagement.

The cause of his death has not yet been disclosed, and further information is expected in due course.
