EC defeat, Ayariga tired EC boss Charlotte Osei

Election 2016 in Ghana the electoral commissioner of Ghana Miss Charlotte Osei expelled some of the presidential aspirants and the political parties on the errors made when filing their nomination forms as a presidential candidate.

Papa Kwesi Nduom of PPP sent the electoral commission to the high court and won the case against the
electoral commission of Ghana to allow the PPP to correct the errors and refile his nomination form. But EC sends the case to supreme court for an appeal on PPP's case.

Hassan Ayariga the presidential candidate of the APC also sent the EC to Accra High court on their disqualification of the errors they made in their filing.

According to them the EC by virtue of receiving the nomination fees as required on the stipulated date made the nomination incomplete.

Arguing their case in court, lawyers for Ayariga told the court the EC failed to meet the statutory seven days after nominations before announcing their disqualification.

The judge, Justice Babara Charway  in her judgment indicated  the EC acted unfairly by disqualifying the All People's Congress from the presidential race.

The legal team for the disqualified presidential nominee of the APC in their submission challenged the 30th September date by the EC as the last day for receiving nominations.
