The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has secured a favorable position in the Electoral Commission’s (EC) balloting for the upcoming December 7, presidential elections.
Evans Nimako, the NPP’s Director of Elections, picked the party’s number during the EC’s balloting event held in Accra on Friday. The NPP will be featured in a prominent position on the ballot paper.
The main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), drew the 8th position, while the All People’s Congress (APC) candidate, Hassan Abdulai Ayariga, secured the 9th spot.
Kofi Akpaloo of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) picked number 5, and Nana Akosua Frimpomaa of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) drew the 7th position.
Following the Electoral Commission’s (EC) balloting process on September 20, 2024, independent candidates were also assigned their positions on the ballot paper for the upcoming December 7, 2024, presidential election.
Kofi Koranteng, an independent candidate, secured the 10th position, while George Twum Barima will appear in the 11th spot. The New Force Movement, led by Nana Kwame Bediako (Cheddar), has been placed in the 12th position, and the Movement for Change will be listed last at number 13.
These independent candidates will face off against the nine qualified political parties, making the upcoming election a dynamic race as both political parties and independent candidates vie for the presidency.
Earlier, Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the EC, announced that several presidential aspirants had been disqualified from participating in the December 7, 2024, elections due to their failure to correct errors on their nomination forms.
Despite being given ample time to address the issues, the disqualified candidates were unable to meet the necessary requirements.
Among those disqualified are Bernard Mornah of the People’s National Convention (PNC) and Janet Nabla of the People’s National Party (PNP).
