The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has won its case against the Electoral Commission (EC), challenging the disqualification of its flagbearer, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom in Ghana’s elections.<\/p>\n
An Accra High Court ruled on Friday ordering the EC to allow Dr. Nduom to make corrections on his nomination forms.<\/p>\n
The ruling was marked by wild jubilation from hundreds of supporters who had thronged the court premises.<\/p>\n
Citi News’<\/strong> Fred Djabanor who was following proceedings in court on Friday said the judge sitting on the case, Justice Eric Kyei Baffour, ruled that the EC breached the regulation governing Ghana\u2019s elections (CI 94) by not allowing Dr. Ndoum to correct the mistakes on the forms he submitted.<\/p>\n Dr Nduom now stands the chance of contesting alongside four other presidential candidates; the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Flagbearer, Nana Addo, President John Mahama who is also the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the Convention People’s Party’s (CPP) Ivor Greenstreet and Jacob Osei Yeboah, an independent Presidential Candidate.<\/p>\n
