The disqualified presidential nominee of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) Dr Henry Lartey has described as ridiculous and shocking the new errors identified on their nomination forms by the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC).

“There has been an addition of 25 more errors to be corrected. We are surprised, it’s amazing that they pulled a surprise on us. The previous one was about four errors and now 25 errors in addition. We are going to do our best to make it up to the deadline. Why the additions?. After the Supreme Court’s ruling, you bring in new additions which I found quite amazing. Others have 180, 150 additional mistakes to correct, can you imagine.

“It’s amazing, I find it quite ridiculous, I can’t believe it, I don’t know whether the Court allowed them to bring in additions. Why do we spend so much monies before we are nominated, America after the primaries they go on the elections, is this the democracy we want,” he told Kumasi-based Ultimate FM.

His comments come on the back of a Supreme Court ruling that ordered the EC to give the disqualified presidential nominees the opportunity to rectify anomalies on their nomination forms.

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the election management body to extend the nomination period to November 8 and allow the candidates to correct their mistakes in order to contest the polls.

The court also ordered the discontinuation of the various court cases regarding the disqualification of other presidential aspirants.

The Commission has since written to all the affected presidential hopefuls, alerting them of their errors, and reminding them to as a matter of urgency correct same in view of the court ruling.

Some parties already feel that the extension period is too short and therefore fear they might not be able to make it.
