The APC, like many others have threatenend to go court to get their candidate back in the race and the campaign launch according to their General Secretary, Razak Kojo Opoku "is part of activities of the party to re-energize our support base and let Ghanaians also know that APC is a well-established party, which is not going to be water down by the decision of the Electoral Commission.â€
Speaking to Agatha Asamoah on GBC’s ‘Behind the News’, Mr Opoku the campaign launch which under the theme ‘Come on board let’s win and build Ghana together’ is also aimed at growing their support base in the country.
According to him, their candidate "is not out of the race because it is the decision of the EC and interim and their candidate has the opportunity to go to a competent court of jurisdiction to overturn the decision of EC.â€
"We have already written to the EC waiting for response and hopefully from Monday going (forward) we shall start the process of going to court for the court to overturn the decision of the ECâ€, he added.
