The Progressive People’s Party is accusing the Electoral Commission of clearing the NPP's presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo to contest the December 7, polls even though he did not comply with some important requirements in his nomination forms as demanded by the EC.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Accra, Policy Adviser of the party, Kofi Asamoah Siaw said the Electoral Commission passed Akufo-Addo who lied under oath, about the declaration of his asset.
“So, the question we are asking is that why did the EC overlook this offence and pass these candidates without raising any issue? Is this not a matter of selective justice ...the EC Chairperson is a lawyer and must know this. We understand that Nana Akufo-Addo did not comply with this requirement, and we sight him for false declaration, but he stands qualified per the EC’s decision as a presidential candidate. This is [a] clear selective application of EC’s own laws”.
The PPP and 11 others were disqualified from the race over various anomalies. The other disqualified aspirants include the flag bearer of the All People's Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga; 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 Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings of the National Democratic Party (NDP).
Others include: Dr Henry Herbert Lartey of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP); Mr Richard Nixon Tetteh (United Development Systems Party); 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.

Some of these small opposition parties are crazy and full of envy,otherwise how can you speak this way.Is this ***barred word*** guy aware that it's unconstitutional to decare your assets when you aren't holding public office? People just fear the name Akufo Addo,and so they collect money to just speak evil about him...They shouldn't be worried because he's coming to office.VOTE NANA/BAWUMIA for a world class economy and beautiful government.
I'm always amazed at the behavior of some of these parties. You are clamouring for change just as Nana Addo and the NPP are doing and yet you make them your target. For me, PPP is just like APC of Ayariga and GFP of Akua Donkor. You leave those who are running the country down, allow them to steal our money to attack your fellow opposition party. PPP should not to be taken serious.
Mr Siaw allegations are without basis. if you presume he falsefied his asset declaration then be factual and prove it.It is quite unfair to say the least" you understand he declared falsely his asset".Nana Addo is not holding any public office in any case so he is not bound by law to declare assets. come again Mr Siaw.
Assets declaration was and still not part of the requirements so what is this man's beef? Fight your case in court, this press conference and press releases would not help you.
Policy Adviser of the party, Kofi Asamoah Siaw,You people don't read. Have you not read when John Boadu went to ask the EC about this declaration of assests and was told that that come come later? Why are you all attacking Nana Addo? Is Nana Addo a public officer? Don't behave like John Mahama who does not read!!!
PAPA NDUOM AND HIS PPP SHOULD TAKE THEIR SHAM.E AND WEAR IT PROUDLY AND STOP BLAMING AND ATTACKING OTHER PARTIES, WHICH PROPERLY FILED THEIR FORMS. WEAR YOUR INCOMPETENT SHAME AND WEAR IT WITH PRIDE, PPP.
HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS ? IS NANA ADDO A PUBLIC OFFICIAL. ? IF DR NDUOM ERRONEOUSLY DECLARES HIS ASSETS ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT A PUBLIC OFFICIAL , DO YOU EXPECT THOSE LIKE NANA ADDO WHO UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS THE LAW TO DO SAME IGNORANTLY. ?
these are the ***barred word*** people in the system who are suppose to know best. you must be in a public office before you can declare your ASSETS. Is Nana Addo a public office holder? master come back and stop throwing sand in peoples eyes.
Its serves you right. You will always be disqualified.
Very comical, i can't think far. Come again PPP and let the whole world know your facts.
