A United States-based Ghanaian Professor, Kwaku Asare has raised concerns about the decision of the Electoral commission (EC) to declare votes for the late Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) presidential candidate, Madam Akua Donkor, as rejected ballots.
He says the decision of the election management body, without first amending Regulation 40 of the C.I. 127 which specifies the conditions under which a ballot may be rejected, will raise serious constitutional and legal concerns.
Madam Akua Donkor passed away on October 28 at Ridge Hospital in Accra after a brief illness.
Her replacement for the 2024 election was disqualified by the EC due to irregularities and errors on his nomination forms.
