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.
