The Electoral Commission has filed an appeal to challenge the High Court ruling asking it to allow the Progressive People’s Party to correct their nomination form errors that accounted for the disqualification of the party's candidate from the presidential race.
The election management body is invoking the supervisory jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in their appeal.
The court, presided over by Justice Eric Kyei Baffour, ordered the EC to allow the PPP’s flagbearer Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom to make the necessary correction on his nomination forms submitted to the commission.
The court said the EC did not give the PPP candidate a fair opportunity to amend mistakes on the party’s nomination forms.
Dr. Nduom and 11 other candidates were disqualified from the race over anomalies detected on their forms.

EC BOSS IS BEING PUSHED BY THE COMMISSIONERS IN EC OFFICE WORKING HARD TO RIG THE ELECTION FOR NDC. BECAUSE SHE IS SOFT SHE IS UNABLE TO BE FIRM LIKE KWADWO AFARI GYAN. GHANAIANS SHOULD BE WATCHFUL. EC WANTS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES TO BE FEW SO THAT JUST ONE ROUND NDC COULD BULLY THEIR WAY THROUGH ONCE AND WIN. THEY KNOW IF THEY WIN SUPREME COURT CANNOT OVERTURN IT. IT IS ONE OF THE MASTER PLANS OF NDC. NDC FEARS THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO WIN IF THERE IS SECOND ROUND. COMISSIONERS ARE PUSHING EC BOSS
Hahahahahahaha, why are you all complaining. I saw the signs on the wall last Saturday on news file. Omane boamah and the deputy minister on the show gave a hint about the appeal on Saturday on Joy fm news file. Whoever dougts me can play back the audio or video on Myjoyonline. All these is the plans of our NDC in motion. Bet me, we NDC will win at the supreme court. Why because all we have to do is to get our guys to rule in our favor. Trust me
*THE TRUTH BEHIND IT* The truth behind it is the EC has finished he ballot papers,NDC has got it share of rigging polls and PPP candidate was not on the ballot so it will be very disgraceful to JDM and EC because the EC boss promise to JDC has back fire so she has to fight well to keep the promise.......but it will never work GOD KNOW HOW GHANAIAN YOUTH ARE SUFFERING.
This is a Constitutional Instrument and the Jurisdiction is the Supreme Court and not the High Court. The Electoral Commission is right to seek clarification and PPP would have wait for 2020 and learn to be Meticulous.
Taxpayers' money being wasted on frivolous law suits.
WOMAN, IF YOU WANT TO SHOW WHERE POWER LIES, YOU WILL GET TO KNOW WHERE THAT POWER LIES.AND THE EFFECT OF THAT POWER ON YOU WILL BE DEVASTATING. GHANA WILL BE AT PEACE BUT NOT WITH YOU. SO YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR PRIDE AND ARROGANCE. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO YOUR BOYFRIEND MAHAMA IS GOING TO LOOSE.
EC is not ready to conduct election, I think so.
This is now getting personal. What's the interest of EC in all this? Are we preparing ourselves towards some crisis? It's worrying
WHAT DOES THIS WOMAN WANT AT ALL? IF HER MAHAMA WILL WIN IT DOES NOT MATTER THE NUMBER OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT PAPER. SOMEBODY SHOULD TELL HER THAT WE ARE TIRED OF HER MACHINATIONS TO ALLOW MAHAMA TO WIN AT ALL COST, INCLUDING THE PEACE OF THE COUNTRY. LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE! AAAA BA!!!
