Janet Asana Nabla, the flagbearer of the People’s National Party (PNP), has announced her intention to take legal action following her disqualification from the 2024 presidential race.
Nabla, who is challenging the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision, plans to file her case at the Supreme Court by Tuesday, September 24, 2024. Her disqualification, along with that of 10 other aspirants, was made public by the EC on Friday after the vetting process. The EC cited errors in nomination forms, stating that while some candidates corrected these issues, others failed to do so, leading to their disqualification.
However, Nabla, who parted ways with the People’s National Convention (PNC), strongly disagrees with the EC’s reasoning. She has accused the Commission of being dishonest in its handling of the matter and is determined to fight the decision in court.
“I will place an injunction on election 2024. The EC is being dishonest. They should come out and tell me what the exact errors were in my forms.
“The Electoral Commission is one of the organisations that I think the time has come for Ghanaians to come together to campaign and make sure that all those in the body are removed, because these are people who are not just truthful, they are not transparent, and their work is not for Ghanaians. They do things for their whims and caprices,”she fumed in an interview on Accra-based 3FM.
The other disqualified candidates were PNC’s Bernard Mornah, Nana Stephens Adjepong, Paul Perkoh, James Kwesi Oppong, John Enyonam Kwakwu Kpikpi, Dr Samuel Sampong Ankrah, Nii Amu Darko Samuel Apea-Danquah and Desmond Abrefah who are all independent candidates.
The Progressive People’s Party’s (PPP) Kofi Asamoah Siaw has also been disqualified.
