Ntow portrayed Afari-Gyan as a fair-minded EC Chair, considering him the finest Ghana has had in the Fourth Republic.
In an interview on Channel One TV, Ntow mentioned that: “But honestly, let me say that after years of interacting with Afari Gyan, especially in my capacity as General Secretary through to that election, I think he is probably one of the best Commissioners we have had in the fourth republic.”

He acknowledged that while both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had occasional disagreements with Afari-Gyan, the former NPP General Secretary emphasized that Afari-Gyan was principled, consistently ensuring fairness and impartiality in overseeing electoral processes.
Ohene Ntow emphasized that Afari-Gyan’s dedication to upholding integrity in elections made a substantial contribution to Ghana’s democratic advancement during his tenure.
“I mean if you consider the situation where the NPP, sometimes doesn’t trust him, the NDC doesn’t trust him, that should tell you something about the man. I think he did quite an objective job,” he stated.
Afari Gyan served as Chairman of the EC from 1993 to 2015.
