The committee has been tasked to:

Monitor the comments, actions, and behaviour of aspirants and their supporters.

Receive and review petitions related to hate speech, insults, or abusive language.

Recommend measures, including disciplinary actions, to ensure a respectful and dignified campaign atmosphere.

The five-member committee will be chaired by Ing. Dr. Kwasi Abeasi, with Dr. Alex Glover-Quartey, Mr. Ato Hamilton, Mr. Kwadwo Afari, and Mr. Mark Opoku (Secretary) serving as members.
