An Accra High Court has ordered the Electoral Commission (EC) to give flagbearer of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga an opportunity to correct the mistakes in his nomination forms.
The court presided over by Justice Barbara Charway described the EC's decision to disqualify the APC flagbearer as 'absurd' adding, the EC acted unfairly.
Justice Charway also indicated that Madam Charlotte Osei should have been more patient in dealing with the matter especially as it dealt with elections.
The EC’s decision has therefore been squashed by the court.

I think the courts should begin to impose hefty fines on the EC for wasting its precious time.
This woman is tooo too big in her shoes why, its all because of JM, when the horn blows there she will see where she lies. 1diot just wasting tax payers moni like tat.
Doing the right thing at the wrong time
This is good news for Akufo Addo - more coughs for the old man
Now it is likely that Dr Edward Mahama and Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will also win. Madam Charlotte Osei please just humble yourself, think of the interest of Ghana and not that of any particular political party.
Please use your brain small. Have you read the CI?
IN (INTERNATIONAL)LAW, THERE IS A MAXIM THAT NO LEGALITY CAN ISSUE FROM AN ILLEGALITY! AS SUCH IF A JUDGE WORTH HIS/HER SALT WILL OVERLIIK OBVIOUS CRIMINALITY - FORGERY, IMPERSONATION AND DOUBLE REGISTRATION - TO GIVE SUCH A JUDGMENT, WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY COATS AND WAKYE CAN DETERMINE THE TILT OF THE LEGAL SCALES. GOD HELP US!!
I think EC could tightened electoral laws in such a way that candidates could not have picked the nomination form rather than disqualifying them base on errors on the forms. Court case is too much!
Incompetent JDM begets incompetent EC. EC must resign now.
Supreme court is next hahaha i laf enter EC office
