The Progressive People's Party (PPP) says that the disqualification of its candidate for the 2024 presidential elections has impacted the Party's campaign nationwide.
Kofi Asamoah-Siaw, the flagbearer of the PPP, was among 11 presidential candidates who were disqualified by the Electoral Commission (EC) due to their failure to correct errors in their nomination forms.
The Party on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, filed a lawsuit to have its 2024 presidential race flagbearer reinstated.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Remy Paa Kow Edmundson, National Secretary, PPP, described the EC's disqualification as "unlawful, arbitrary, and premeditated." He said the EC failed to grant the PPP "the right to be heard" to address the said errors identified in its presidential forms. "The EC's reason (for disqualification) was that they discovered errors and omissions which we failed to amend within the time frame provided. "For us this is a complete lie.
