The Electoral Commission (EC) has cleared 13 candidates to contest the 2024 presidential elections.
This is contained in a statement dated September 20, 2024.
“Following the successful conduct of the Filing of Nominations from the 9th of September to the 13h of September, 2024, the Commission instituted a thorough examination of the Nomination Forms submitted by the Candidates to ensure conformity with requirements as set out in law,” the statement said.
Among the notable candidates is the Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), both of whom are hoping to sway voters with promises of economic reform, improved infrastructure, and enhanced social services.
In addition to these familiar faces, several first-time candidates have emerged, representing smaller parties and independent platforms, aiming to challenge the political establishment with new ideas and a fresh perspective on governance.
Presidential candidates disqualified by the EC include Bernard Mornah of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Janet Nabla of the People’s National Party (PNP) and Kofi Asamoah Siaw (Progressive People’s Party).
The rest are Samuel Apea-Danquah, Desmond Abrefah, Nana Stephens Adjepong, Paul Perkoh, James Kwesi Oppong, John Enyonam Kwakwu Kpikpi, Dr Samuel Sampong Ankrah and Nii Amu Darko,
