The Electoral Commission is expected to present a provisional license to a new political party; the All Peoples Party (APC) this week.<\/p>\n
The APC, founded by the former flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Hassan Ayariga, is expected to contest the November general elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”svYBTl16yIUs27CwND42T11Ez8MTiwM5″]This brings to 26, the total number of political parties licensed by the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n
Mr Ayariga fell out with the PNC following his defeat to\u00a0Dr Edward Mahama in the party’s congress where he claimed he was unfairly treated.<\/p>\n
There were however no known prior\u00a0disagreements between him and his former party.<\/p>\n
The latest development comes on the back of a PNC announcement that any members who had signed documents for the formation of Ayariga’s new party should renounce their decision.<\/p>\n
