Lawyers for Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), have said they will file a fresh suit against the Electoral Commission (EC) over her disqualification today, Thursday October 27.
Earlier in the day, an Accra High Court had dismissed the NDP’s case which had prayed the court to compel the EC to reinstate former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings as a presidential nominee in the December 7 polls.
The NDP filed reliefs for human rights and judicial review of the decision by the Electoral Commission, but the court dismissed the case, explaining that the NDP should have filed separate suits instead of lumping the two.
Mrs Agyeman-Rawlings and her lawyers have said they would file again, this time heeding the court’s direction to file separate suits on the reliefs she is seeking.
It is recalled that Mrs Agyeman-Rawlings was among 12 other presidential aspirants who were disqualified by the EC for anomalies in their nomination forms.
Mrs Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings was disqualified because “the number of subscribers to her forms did not meet the requirements of Regulation 7 (2) (b) of CI 94.
- One subscriber on page 89 of her nomination forms is not a validly registered voter and illegally registered twice and so is on the exclusion list of multiple voters. Details are:
- Salifu Abdulai
District: Nanumba South
Voter ID no: 6617004814 (28.3.2012)
Voter ID no: 2126900022 (04.8.2014).

where is her self touting lawyer who gave the ec 24 hrs ultimatum? incompetent and inexperience braging lawyer.
Stubbornness would kill this wicked woman. Her heart is full of bitterness hence his action. Your husband is founder of ndc and your daughter is standing parliamentary candidature on ndc ticket, so what the heck is this ediocy being displayed.
I think the aspirants Cld have walked into any ec's district offices to verify the authenticity of the voter's id numbers of their subscribers. the parliamentary candidates did that but I think most of the presidential candidates didn't so cos they deal directly with headquarters.
OH! GRANDMAA, WHY ARE YOU WORRYING YOURSELF LIKE THIS. OVER TWENTY YEARS IN POWER DID NOT SATISFY YOU, HOW THEN CAN FOUR OR EIGHT YEARS. WHY DON'T YOU SIT IN YOUR CORNER AND ENJOY YOUR PENSION AND LOOK AFTER YOUR GRAND CHILDREN AND SUPPORT YOUR DAUGHTER. OGBA OHENA TSON, MAABA. TSEOOO, NUKA EDZOR.
How will Konadu know that a voter endorsing her registered twice? This is a dangerous precedence by the EC. She should be asked to replace that person and the law deals with the person for registering twice... Common sense.
