An independent presidential candidate who doubles as the founder and leader of Yellow Ghana, Samuel Apea-Danquah, has taken legal action against the Electoral Commission (EC) following his disqualification from contesting in the upcoming presidential election.

Apea-Danquah, among 11 candidates disqualified due to alleged irregularities in their nomination forms, is challenging the EC's decision in court.

In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, October 10, Apea-Danquah is seeking a court order of certiorari to overturn the Electoral Commission's ruling.

He contends that his disqualification was unjust and is calling for the decision to be reversed.
