The Electoral Commission of Ghana has disqualified thirteen presidential aspirants from contesting the 2016 elections.
Akwasi Addae Odike; United Progressive Party (UPP), Hassan Ayariga; All People's Congress (APC), Edward Mahama; People's National Convention (PNC), Agyenim Boateng Kakraba and Kofi Apaloo; Independent People's Party (IPP) have been disqualified.

According to Charlotte Osei, Chairperson of the EC, the Presidential candidates did not meet the criteria for filing as president.
This means only four candidates will be contesting this year's election: Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ivor Greenstreet of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and Independent Candidate and Jacob Osei Yeboah.

The EC is mad. period
What are u waiting for then? Go jump into the deep sea cos it's Jm si fom
If you school and later work in Kanada and Amerika, you would never ever think of corruption. Because their system does not give room for that. Since Charlotte did NOT work in Kanada after school, she does not have Kanadian corporate training. She rather returned to Ghana to learn corruption and rigging of elections. Well the prophecy is waiting on her!! The ball is in her court!
HAHAHAHAHAHA COMPETENT KONADU AGYEMANG RAWLINGS HAHAHAH
I don't see why people still respect Charlotte and her her Commission. If An American dance teacher has publicly claimed Prez Mahama is corrupt, how much more Charlotte and EC? CHARLOTTE AND EC ARE CORRUPT! AND HER EDUCATION IN KANADA IS BOGUS. WE HAVE ALL HAD FOREIGN EDUCATION SO I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
I can see these ndc embers are really fo*ls,why are you afraid of Nana? Charlotte Osei has to listen to the international community who have stake in our elections by their contributions. Do you know how much the UK and America invested in this election? And do you think Americans are st*pid to allow Asiedu Nketia Koku Anyidoho to dictate what their tax payers monies should be used?'YES' You can't mess with America,Charlotte Osei is listening to those who gave her money to conduct the elections who want,transparent,free and fair elections. Folks do you remember John mahama said at the UN meeting Africans must be allowed to practice their own democracy of rigging elections think about that? and since that time this EC boss has changed her attitude,if America promise you security the only man to fear is GOD. I LOVE AMERICA.
did you say kudos to EC. hmmmmmmmmmm
Good. Change is coming. we thank God for the upcoming victory
before anyone starts jubilating, it will be wise the ascertain on what grounds were these candidates disqualified. was it arbitrarily done or it was based on rule or rules violations by the applicants. I don't think I'm quite impressed by the premature jubilation here. EC is accountable to the people and they must therefore tell us on which grounds these honorable candidates disqualified?
