The National Democratic Party (NDP), was among some political parties that failed to make it to the final list of presidential nominees for this year’s presidential elections.
The Electoral Commission (EC) said the party’s flagbearer, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, wife of former President Rawlings, was disqualified for failing to meet some requirements of the electoral laws.
In her case, the EC Chairperson Madam Charlotte Osei explained ““The Commission is unable to accept Mrs. Rawlings’ nomination because the number of subscribers to her forms did not meet the requirements of Regulation 7 (2) (b) of CI 94.
