The People’s National Party (PNP) has served notice it would challenge the disqualification of its presidential candidate, Madam Janet Nabla, from the presidential election in court.
Madam Nabla, in a response to the disqualification, indicated that she received prompt communication from the EC to correct errors detected on her nomination forms.
According to her, she carefully reviewed the concerns raised by the EC, made the necessary corrections, and returned the amended forms to the office of the EC on the same day before the close of nominations.
The candidate asserted that the disqualification was not lawful, and they have since decided to head to court and seek redress.
The Electoral Commission (EC) released a list of 13 individuals who passed the process and are set to contest the presidential election.
Twenty-four persons out of the 39 who picked forms to contest filed.
Only 13 of them were approved to contest with Madam Nabla and ten others disqualified.
Others are Desmond Kwame Abrefa, Nana Stephens Agyapong, Dr. Paul Perko, Mr. James Kwasi Oppong, Dr. Sam Ankrah, Dr. Nii Amu Darko, and Samuel Apea-Danquah, all independent candidates.
The rest are Kofi Asamoah-Siaw of the Progressive People’s Party (PNP) and Janet Asana Nabla of the People’s National Party (PNP), while Dr. John Kpikpi of the Progressive Alliance Ghana withdrew his nomination after filing.
