The Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) has found itself in a whirlwind of confusion following the sudden passing of its founder and flagbearer, Akua Donkor.<\/p>\n
In a shocking twist, radio presenter Philip Appiah Kubi, popularly known as Roman Fada, has been nominated as the party\u2019s new presidential candidate for the upcoming December 7 polls.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday afternoon, Roman Fada\u2019s nomination was officially submitted to the Electoral Commission, and he has revealed that his running mate will be a female, although he hasn\u2019t disclosed her name yet.<\/p>\n
However, it seems that not everyone in the party is on the same page.<\/p>\n
The National Organizer, Richard Botchway, wrote a letter to the Electoral Commission announcing the party\u2019s withdrawal from the December 7 elections to honour Akua Donkor\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n
However, this decision was later challenged by the party\u2019s General Secretary, George Afful, who confirmed the nomination of radio presenter Philip Appiah Kubi, as the new presidential candidate.<\/p>\n
In a letter dated November 4, 2024, George Afful informed the Electoral Commission of Roman Fada\u2019s nomination, stating that the party had duly selected him to replace Akua Donkor as the presidential candidate for the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
This move has sparked confusion within the party, with some members questioning the legitimacy of Roman Fada\u2019s candidacy.<\/p>\n
NDC Turn<\/strong><\/p>\nMeanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has reacted to the GFP\u2019s situation, with Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC\u2019s National Communications Officer, stating that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) attempts to get the GFP to withdraw from the contest have failed.<\/p>\n
His fear was that if the GFP failed to field a candidate, it may pushed the NDC from its 8th position on the ballot to 7th, which may not be insured to its advantage.<\/p>\n
