The (EC) of Ghana has disqualified Philip Appiah Kubi, the replacement flagbearer for the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), due to errors and alleged irregularities discovered in his nomination documents.
EC Chair Jean Mensa made this announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, 12 November, emphasising that the disqualification followed a careful review of the party's submission.
Jean Mensa noted that although the EC provided the GFP with an opportunity to rectify the issues, certain irregularities could not be ignored.
Despite the GFP's efforts to address some of the discrepancies, Jean Mensa explained that elements of Appiah Kubi's documentation were found to be "illegitimate" under the nation's electoral laws, leading to his disqualification from the pending election.
