Mr Hassan Ayariga of the All People's Congress (APC) has described the chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei, as "stupid" and "foolish" for disqualifying him from the 2016 presidential race.
"Madam Charlotte Osei herself is not qualified to be an EC leader. She's stupid and foolish," Mr Hassan Ayariga said in an interview with Class FM on Monday, 10 October, minutes after Mrs Osei announced his disqualification.
"I am telling you she is not qualified to be an electoral commissioner. Somebody who has contested in an election in the past, you are telling me you don't know his identity. Are you normal? And for that reason you disqualify that person? Does it make sense to you? That you tell me that Hassan Ayariga, you don't know his identity? Who the f*** are you?" an obviously angry Mr Ayariga said, adding: "This is the joke of the century."
Apart from Mr Ayariga, the EC disqualified 11 other presidential nominees and put one on hold, pending the determination of a court challenge.
The others disqualified include Dr Edward Mahama of the People's National Convention (PNC); Dr Agyenim Boateng of the United Front Party (UFP); Kofi Akpaloo of the Independent People's Party (IPP); Kwabena Adjei of the Reformed Patriotic Democrats (RPD); and Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive People's Party (PPP).
The others are: Dr Henry Herbert Lartey of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP); Mr Richard Nixon Tetteh (United Development Systems Party); Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings of the National Democratic Party (NDP); Thomas Ward-Brew of the Democratic People's Party (DPP); Alfred Kwame Asiedu Walker, an independent candidate; and Akua Donkor of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). Mr Akwasi Addae Odike of the United Progressive Party's nomination is on hold pending a court case.
Mrs Osei cited filing anomalies including fraudulent signatures, absence of a required number of signatures, improper filling of nomination forms, among others, as the reasons for their disqualification. In the case of Mr Odike, Mrs Osei said Mr Odike had been given up to Friday, 14 October to deal with the court case or count himself out of the race completely.
Mrs Osei said some of the fraudulent information provided by the nominees would be followed up by the police for possible arrest and prosecution.
Those whose nominations have been accepted include President John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nana Akufo-Addo of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Ivor Greenstreet of the Convention People's Party (CPP), and Jacob Osei Yeboah – an independent aspirant.

Mr.Dr.Dr. Hassan Ayariga, you have sinned against the anointed one so repent otherwise something worst is going to happen to you. You are the weakest link, Good Bye. hahahaha
Cattle rearing will benefit you than politics.old take a second look at that
Please go get yourself one chilled Kalypo so calm your nerves,the insults won't help you. Kalypo will.see what joking has caused you
Hahahaha,I'm happy for you sir .lol
I can see the frustration of ayariga,their dream of making Nana Addo their target of mockery has been cut short so ndc will go for their money. They paid for all these political jokers like ayariga,Henry Lartey,Akua Donkor etc to make our politics look dirty and also mocking but this time around not on Charlotte Osei ' s watch. She wasn't my favourite and I don't think she is until I see a transparent,free and fair elections which Ghanaians are dying for,Ghanaians want to choose their leader not somebody imposing somebody on them. Let's see if she is not going to change her mind on the orders from above. I know Nana Konadu and Dr Mahama were going to be a thorn in the flesh of the ndc but I think the stated errors were done in the constituency level for what reasons only known to those who did that.
Ayiriga,please be patient okay.Mallam will fight your battle for you.you see how God works,now who will be mocked for the rest of his life,***barred word*** you
ayaricow again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you see your real size?, so far, you have shown that you are a disgrace to yourself and your family, you only insult Npp
What if Kennedy Agyepong had made these unfortunamte remarks about the Madam EC?. Waiting for the coming days what bodies and individuals who descended on Kennegy Agyepong will do this time around. Hypocrisy in this our nation really has political colours. As for Ayariga, l pity him. That boy is just not up there.
