Financial analyst, Sydney Casely-Hayford, has said that the recent outcomes of the lawsuits challenging the Electoral Commission’s (EC) disqualification of presidential aspirants, indicate that the EC doesn’t seem to understand its own\u00a0rules and regulations on elections.<\/p>\n
The EC\u00a0is currently fighting lawsuits from the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), the National Democratic Party (NDP), the Independent People\u2019s Party (IPP) and the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), who are contesting its decision to disqualify their presidential aspirants for having errors on their nomination forms.<\/p>\n
The parties are praying the court to compel the EC to allow them to correct the mistakes on their forms. So far, the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP) and the\u00a0All People’s Congress (APC) have secured High Couert rulings to that effect.<\/p>\n
