The Electoral Commission has said all Presidential aspirants are required to designate a person to serve as Vice President on nomination forms and required to deliver the Forms to the Commission on prescribed date by the Commission.
Additionally, the Forms are to be signed by no less than two (2) persons who are registered voters in the area of authority of each District Assembly.
The Chairperson of the EC, Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensa said she does not doubt that the process will be transparent, fair, and peaceful.
Additionally, she is confident that the five (5)-day period provided for the filing process as opposed to the two (2) days provided in previous nomination processes, will allow enough time for Presidential Candidates to correct any errors identified in their Forms.
“We are confident that this will help eliminate the tension and rancor that characterized previous nomination processes.”
In a related development, the Electoral Commission (EC) has explained that copies of the final new voter’s register should be ready by November 11, 2020.
The EC is hoping that copies of the register would be made available to all political parties and candidates by that time.
