The Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has rejected the nomination forms submitted by the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) after the party failed to meet the designated deadline.
The EC has firmly stated that forms submitted after 5 PM on September 13, will not be accepted, emphasizing that their premises are not intended for the completion of nomination forms.
Deputy Director in charge of Operations and acting on behalf of Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the EC, Samuel Tettey, conveyed this message during a press conference.
“We’re not expected to receive nominations after 5 PM. The premises of the EC are not where we complete forms. Candidates are expected to complete their nomination forms and file them within the specified time. We will receive the forms, but we are not going to accept them. I am acting on behalf of the Chairperson, who is the returning officer, so I’ll submit the report to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission,” Mr Tettey said.
