\n
Leader of the Yellow Ghana movement, Samuel Apea-Danquah, has expressed dissatisfaction with the Electoral Commission\u2019s (EC) decision to disqualify him along with 10 other candidates from contesting in the upcoming December 7 presidential election.<\/p>\n
The disqualified presidential candidate told Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News on Citi FM that the EC\u2019s decision to bar him and the others was based on lies.<\/p>\n
Apea-Danquah explained that he submitted the tax clearance certificate of his running mate via WhatsApp and also in person and yet the EC went ahead to disqualify him from the presidential race, alleging that he failed to submit the certificates.<\/p>\n
He described the EC\u2019s decision as disrespectful which he said will be challenged in the court of law.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe EC lied. I am a very thorough person. We submitted my running mate\u2019s tax clearance certificates. I sent a copy via WhatsApp and delivered a hard copy to the EC myself and it is so embarrassing because it paints us as very unserious people, as though we just decided to vie for the presidency. After all, we have some loose money lying somewhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe delivered hard copies and so I don\u2019t even know where this is coming from and to blatantly lie on national television to embarrass us to that extent, we feel so disrespected.\u201d<\/p>\n
Samuel Apea-Danquah was disqualified along with Bernard Mornah of the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC) and Janet Nabla of the People\u2019s National Party (PNP).<\/p>\n
The other candidates include Nana Stephens Adjepong, Paul Perkoh, James Kwesi Oppong, John Enyonam Kwakwu Kpikpi, Dr Samuel Sampong Ankrah, Nii Amu Darko, Desmond Abrefah, and Kofi Asamoah Siaw (Progressive People\u2019s Party).<\/p>\n\n
