The Electoral Commission (EC) disqualified several presidential aspirants from participating in the December 7, 2024, elections due to their failure to correct errors on their nomination forms.

This announcement was made by Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the EC, during a press briefing in Accra on Friday.

According to the EC, all disqualified candidates were provided ample time to rectify the issues identified in their submissions but were unable to meet the requirements.

Among the disqualified candidates are Bernard Mornah of the People’s National Convention (PNC) and Janet Nabla of the People’s National Party (PNP).

Other candidates affected by the EC’s decision include Nana Stephens Adjepong, Paul Perkoh, James Kwesi Oppong, John Enyonam Kwakwu Kpikpi, Dr. Samuel Sampong Ankrah, and Nii Amu Darko.

Additionally, Samuel Apea-Danquah, Desmond Abrefah, and Kofi Asamoah Siaw of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) were also disqualified from the race.

The EC emphasized that the disqualification process was carried out in accordance with electoral regulations, ensuring fairness and transparency throughout the process.

The EC Chairperson noted, for instance, that “Mr. Samuel Apea-Dankwa was presented with a number of issues to resolve including not filing a tax certificate for his Vice Presidential candidate and then some of his pages from the form and he had incomplete particulars for some of his supporters.

“Unfortunately, though he was provided with the opportunity to correct this, he was unable to do so and the committee recommended that he is disqualified.”

“Ms. Janet Asana Nabla also used the registration details of supporters in certain districts to support her nomination in other districts. Again, the Vice Presidential candidate did not sign the nomination form. The issues were however not resolved and the committees recommended that she be disqualified.”

“…Mr Bernard Mornah also had incomplete details of supporters. He also used registered voters in a particular district to support the nomination in other districts. His form also contained varying signatures for the same supporters and in some cases the same signature for different supporters. The committee was of the view that he be disqualified.”
