The Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has announced plans to convene and decide which political party it will endorse in the upcoming December elections.
This decision comes in the wake of the Electoral Commission’s (EC) disqualification of Philip Appiah Kubi, the GFP’s replacement flagbearer, due to significant errors and illegalities found on his nomination form.
Despite giving the GFP a 10-day window to rectify these issues, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa explained that some of the irregularities remained unacceptable, ultimately leading to Kubi’s disqualification from the presidential race.
Following the EC’s announcement on Tuesday, the GFP’s National Organiser, Richard Botchway, spoke to the press in Accra, revealing that the party’s national executives would soon meet to deliberate on which candidate or party to support in the December polls.
“…We’ll meet. I am going to meet the national executive and we will throw our support to one political party,” he stated.
Botchway also opined that “all the political parties are aware that nobody is going to contest for the GFP in the upcoming election. So we have all made the decision that in the next election we will make a good structure and get another flagbearer.
“…We are mourning and we are going to rebuild our mother Aunty’s Akua Donkor’s party in the next election. We don’t have a divided front.
“We started with Madam Akua Donkor in 2012, 2016 so what our General Secretary said on air was not true so he shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
