All People's Congress has revealed the EC has asked it to make 95 corrections on its presidential nomination forms within 24 hours if it can stand for the 2016 presidential elections.
According to APC General Secretary Razak Kojo Opoku, this is an astronomical jump from two errors which formed the basis of the party's disqualification.
Several political parties are struggling to meet a 24 hour deadline set by the Supreme Court in its orders to the EC to allow 12 disqualified presidential candidates to correct their mistakes.
Their mistakes according to the EC merited their disqualification announced last month. The EC at a press conference in October revealed the specific errors that flouted the Public Elections Regulations (CI 94).
For the APC, the EC said it has identified two mistakes. The APC proceeded to court to challenge their disqualification.
The Supreme Court had to finally settle the matter asking the EC to allow the candidates to make corrections within 24 hours.
"All of us were happy in APC" Razak said. But to their shock, the EC has picked out 93 more errors it wants corrected.
He described the directive as "shambolic" and attempts at deploying "ambush tactics" aimed at kicking the APC out of the 2016 presindential race.

Why is Ayariga complaining. He has coughed all his way up to the Electoral Commission. I am surprised he is screaming. The people he coughed for have all deserted him after orchestrating to get him out. I am just excited.
ELECTORAL COMISSION WORKED OUT PLAN HAS BEGUN FAILING. THIS IS A CALCULATED PLAN BY EC AND NDC TO MAKE SURE THEY WIN FIRST ROUND. THEY HAVE PLANNED TO RIG MASSIVELY AND WIN. THEY KNOW IF THEY RIG AND WIN SUPREMME COURT CANNOT OVERTURN IT. THIS IS WHY THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW BECAUSE THEIR CALCULATED MISCHIEF IS FAILING NOW. MAHAMA SAID ELECTION WILL BE ONE TOUCH, A SENIOR JOUNALIST IN NDC CAMP SAID ELECTION WILL BE ONE TOUCH. ALL SHOW CLEARLY THE REASON WHY EC IS DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING. NPP SHOULD WATCH CAREFULLY THE PRINTING OF BALLOT PAPERS, PINK SHEETS AND ALSO CONTROL THE POLLING STATIONS VERY WELL. NDC IS GOING TO GIVE CARS, HOUSES, MONEY TO INFLUENCE THE POLLING AGENTS TO SIGN DIFFERENT PINK SHEETS
This really indicts the EC itself. To most Ghanaians, the implication is that the Commission did not scrutinize the documents when the parties submitted them at first before attempting to disqualify some of them. INCOMPETENT EC. I hope if the documents of those parties it has already accepted (NPP, NDC, CPP and the independent candidate-JOY) are critically review, it would equally come out with a sizable numbers of 'inadequacies' that would warrant their disqualification as well . The lady and her other commissioners are driving the nation into a wreckage and we are also looking on as if we don't care what happens to the country. Arise Ghanaians and save the nation from this imminent doom.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...this is interesting...when you cant fix simple errors you expect to be put on the ballot paper and possibly made a president. hmmm...though the supreme court did what it felt was fair, that will only open the flood gates for more "parties" to contribute to wasted ballots and a possible second round. but hey, its a democracy and we respect that.
