Disqualified Ayariga sues EC again
Embattled leader of the All People’s
Congress(APC), Hassan Ayariga has sued the
Electoral Commission asking the court to direct
the commission to re-instate him in the December 7
Presidential race.

Dr. Ayariga said his party is also seeking
interpretation of sections of the elections
regulation law.

“Our Lawyers have filed and we are waiting for
the court to give us a date for the hearing or
written submissions to be made,” Ayariga told
Accra-based Citi FM in an interview Monday.

Ayariga said his legal redress being sought is
relevant to help restore confidence in the system
with some few weeks to elections.

“As a matter of fact, we are not happy. Some of
you have watched the video of Madam Charlotte’s
remark about Hassan Ayariga. I guess that if she
knows losers in this year’s elections, I’m
very sure she also knows the one who is going to
win the elections. So why then do we go for an
election? Ayariga questioned.

Mr. Ayariga who was disqualified along with some
12 other hopefuls failed to meet the set criteria
again when the EC granted them a second
opportunity to correct their nomination which had
some anomalies.

Addressing a Press conference in the capital last
week, the disgruntled leader of the APC accused
the EC chairperson of sheer bias against him and
deliberately scheming to cause his exclusion from
the 2016 Presidential race.
