Lead Counsel for the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP), Nii Ayikoi Otoo, has expressed fears that the\u00a0new deadline for the submission of nomination forms, tomorrow [Tuesday] 5:00pm, may not be enough for the affected political parties and their aspirants.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0follows a Supreme Court order to the Electoral Commission (EC) to extend the nomination period to the close of Tuesday, November 8, 2016, for all disqualified presidential aspirants to make the necessary corrections on their nomination forms.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media after the judgement, Mr. Ayikoi Otoo, a former Attorney General, said a two-day window would have been preferable to afford the parties more time to correct their errors.<\/p>\n
