The Electoral Commission (EC) has disqualified 24 parliamentary aspirants in the Ashanti Region from contesting this year's election.
Reports gathered by our Ashanti Regional correspondent, Isaac Owusu indicate that out of the 240 aspirants who filed their nomination on Friday, only 216 were cleared to represent their respective political parties as parliamentary candidates in the elections.
The 24 were disqualified based on the fact that they were not able to pay their filing fee (GHC 10, 000).
According to the Ashanti Regional Director of the EC, Mr Mr Serebuor Quaicoo, “when they submitted the nomination forms, 240 submitted but we were waiting for the issue about the deposits to be completed, but 24 of them did not come forward to continue with their deposits. So at the end of the day, the 24 people cannot be considered as duly nominated because they did not complete their nomination process,”
According to him, most of he disqualified applicants are independent candidates and a few from the political parties. Even though the list of disqualified aspirants is not yet out, candidates from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), National Democratic Congress (NDC), Convention People's Party (CPP) and the Progressive People's Party (PPP) have qualified to contest in the December 7 elections.

Join hands to fight what, illegality? People doing multiple registration? Same person with different signatures? Same person endorsing more than one presidential aspirants? What would you be telling the courts? To legalize or trivialize illegality? You can't fight every battle.
WE KNOW AND ARE FULLY AWARE OF EC/NDC STRATEGY TO CLEAR A NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE 2016 ELECTION SO THAT NDC WILL HAVE THEIR WAY. I WILL LIKE TO CHALLENGE MAHAMA THAT HE IS FULLY ARE OF THIS AND GIVES THE DIRECTORY HIMSELF. EC IS PONPOSE AND DO NOT FEAR THE COURT COS SHE HAVE THE BACKING OF THE PRESIDENT. WE ARE FULLY AWARE. NPP AND OTHER AGITATING PARTIES MUST FORM A FORMIDABLE FORCE TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT. THIS IS NOT A FIGHT OF PPP OR NDP ALONE.THIS IS A FIGHT FOR ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES. THIS IS TO WEAKEN ALL THE OPPOSITION SO THAT NDC WILL HAVE ITS WAY. WHAT GOD HAS PUT TOGETHER LET NO EC PUT ASUNDER COS THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES.

Disqualification on the basis of clerical errors is very dangerous! The EC itself are not immune from clerical errors
