]]> The Electoral Commission (EC)  today [Monday], disqualified thirteen persons who were hoping to contest the country’s presidential elections in December this year.

The EC Chairperson, Charlotte Osei, who made the announcement at a news conference, said those disqualified failed to meet the necessary requirements in filing their nomination forms.

There were however different reasons for which each of the aspirants were disqualified.

Nominations closed today [Monday] with only 17 aspirants presenting their filled forms, although 23 people had picked up forms to contest.
