Ndoum begs EC for a second chance

At a press conference at the party's headquarters in Accra Dr. Ndoum asked the EC chairperson to give him five minutes of her time to straighten things on his nomination form

 

Dr Nduom made this plea when he addressed the press  after he was formally informed of his disqualification.

Dr Nduom said  EC's reasons for his disqualification are only  administrative problem that can be resolved at a five-minute meeting.

Dr Nduom together with twelve other presidential nominees from various political parties have been  disqualified by the EC from contesting in the 2016 presidential election.

On reasons why the PPP’s Papa Kwesi Nduom was disqualified, the EC Chair said: “The Commission is unable to accept Dr Nduom’s nomination because again the number of subscribers in his forms did not make the requirements of regulation 7(2) of CI 94.”

The EC revealed that one subscriber, Mr Richard Aseda, with voter ID number 7812003957 endorsed Dr Nduom’s forms in the Central region and again endorsed the same forms with the same ID number in the Volta region.

Dr Nduom plans to seek to seek legal redress  if the EC refuses to meet with him by Thursday October 10 2016.
