The main opposition political party in Ghana, National Democratic Congress (NDC) has suspended elections in some 14 constituencies in the country.<\/p>\n
This is as a result of disputes over delegates list for those constituencies and\/or the exclusion from ballot papers of candidates who have been qualified through the appeal process and legal issues which have confronted the party\u2019s branch and constituencies elections.<\/p>\n
In a press statement released by the party and signed Daniel Amartey Mensah, Deputy Director of Elections said the National Elections Committee of the National Democratic Congress under the guidance of FEC urged all constituencies to include candidates who have been duly cleared to contest through the appeal process on their ballot papers and exclude candidates who have been disqualified through the appeals process from the ballot papers since elections will not be held till ballot papers are rectified.<\/p>\n
On the aspect of the branch issues, it said the Constituency elections will go, ahead with the exception of certain limited branches.<\/p>\n
It cautioned that failure to strictly adhere to this directive will render any election illegal, hence a nullity, and appropriate sanctions will be applied to any person found culpable.<\/p>\n
