Independent Observer Thread for the 2025 GOSH Community Council Elections

Hi everyone!

I would like to introduce Mr. Michael Ampah Yeboah (@Ampah), Operations Manager at Kumasi Hive, who is serving as the independent observer for the 2025 GOSH community council election. The election secretary and independent observer will be working together frequently throughout the election process, therefore Michael and I will use this thread on the forum to talk publicly regarding the election. This will also serve as a space for reporting if needed.

I will continue to update this thread throughout the election, to which Michael will respond with questions, concerns, or a simple yes or no.

I will also send Michael detailed notes from governance working group meetings so that he can raise any questions or concerns regarding what we have planned.

What Have We Discussed Already?

I have already sent Michael the 2025 Governance Plan, as well as some more detailed information regarding the way in which he and I will be working together. Early next week, we’ll meet to discuss the workflow for determining voter & candidate eligibility.

Michael - welcome, and thank you for your service in support of the GOSH 2025 Community Council Elections.

Kind regards,
Jamaica
