Dr Bossman Asare, Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Corporate Services, made this announcement during an appearance on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, 16 November.
He emphasised that, although Akua Donkor's name and photograph will appear on the ballot paper, any votes cast in her favour will not be counted. "Now we know we have 12 candidates, so any vote for Akua Donkor would be annulled.
It is not possible for her to win," Dr Asare stated.
He also mentioned that the EC is intensifying public education to reduce the likelihood of invalid votes.
