Police reinstate guards for reinstated prez nominees
The Ghana Police Service has restored police
guards to three presidential aspirants whose
security were withdrawn following their
disqualification from the 7 December general
elections.

The three include former First Lady Nana Konadu
Agyeman-Rawlings of the National Democratic Party
(NDP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive
People’s Party (PPP) and Dr Edward Mahama of the
People’s National Convention (PNC).

They were among 13 presidential nominees whose
state security guards were withdrawn in October
after they got dropped from the race.

They were, however, reinstated in the race after
the Supreme Court ruled last week that the
Electoral Commission needed to have given them
ample time to correct certain anomalies on their
nomination forms for which they got disqualified.

Their restoration brings to seven the number of
presidential candidates for this year’s
elections. The first four candidates who qualified
include President John Mahama of the governing
National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nana
Akufo-Addo of the main opposition New Patriotic
Party (NPP), Ivor Greenstreet of the Convention
People’s Party (CPP) and independent candidate
Jacob Osei Yeboah.
