Election 2016: Konadu, Nduom go through; Ayariga and Akua Donkor miss out again
The Electoral Commission of Ghana has cleared
three presidential hopefuls to contest this
year’s December polls.

The three are the Progressive Peoples Party’s
Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, the National Democratic
Party’s Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and the
Peoples National Convention’s Dr. Edward Nasigre
Mahama.

The EC cleared the three following a Supreme Court
decision ordering it to give the three aspirants
and nine others the opportunity to rectify errors
identified on their nomination forms after their
earlier disqualification.

The APC’s Hassan Ayariga and the GFP’s Akua
Donkor are part of nine aspirants who will not be
taking part in this year’s presidential
elections for failing to meet the requirements
despite the opportunity given by the Supreme Court
order.

In all, seven candidates will be contesting this
year’s general elections. They are:

1. Ivor Kobina Greenstreet - CPP

2. Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings - NDP

3.John Dramani Mahama - NDC

4. Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom - PPP

5. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo – NPP

6. Dr. Edward Mahama - PNC

7. Jacob Osei Yeboah - Independent
