EC Disqualifies GFP’s New Flagbearer ‘Roman Father’ Over Alleged Document Irregularities

The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has disqualified the Ghana Freedom Party’s (GFP) replacement flagbearer, Philip Appiah Kubi, well-known as “Roman Father, after uncovering errors and illegalities on his nomination form.

This announcement was made by EC Chair Jean Mensa at a press conference held on Tuesday, November 12.

Despite allowing the party to correct these discrepancies, Jean Mensa stated that certain irregularities could not be overlooked, leading to the EC’s decision to disqualify Kubi from contesting in the upcoming election.

The GFP initially faced a major setback following the death of its founding leader and original flagbearer, Akua Donkor.

Her unexpected death on October 15 left the party scrambling to find a replacement for the December 2024 presidential election. In response, the EC granted the GFP a 10-day window to submit a new flagbearer nomination, which led to Kubi’s appointment.

However, upon review, the EC identified several issues with Kubi’s documentation that went beyond simple clerical errors.

EC Chair Jean Mensa explained that while the party corrected some of the identified errors, other elements were deemed “illegitimate” and could not be accepted under the electoral laws.

Jean Mensa emphasized that the EC’s mandate to uphold the integrity of the electoral process prevents the acceptance of any irregularities, regardless of the party’s attempts to rectify them.
