Even before Ghanaians go to the polls on December 7, the referee for the 2016 presidential elections Charlotte Osei had written off the presidential candidate of the All People’s Congress, Hassan Ayariga.
Speaking at a lecture in the UK last week, Chairperson of the Electoral Commissioner said, “there will be one winner and certainly several losers including Hassan Ayariga, I am sure”.
But speaking to journalists in Accra, Charlotte Osei denied making the comment.
On the day of the denial, she also announced that the APC Presidential candidate has been disqualified from the December 7 general elections.
This was because his nomination papers fell short of the requirements stated in the law governing the election, the C.I 94. It was the second time the commission rejected the APC flagbearer’s nomination forms.
After the first rejection, he went to court and prevailed over the EC which was directed to allow him to correct the errors on the forms that formed the basis for his disqualification.
The Supreme court judgment later also stressed the disqualified candidates should be given a second chance. In spite of this second chance, Hassan Ayariga and seven others could not make the list.
Peeved at the decision, Hassan Ayariga has accused the chairperson of the EC of having a personal agenda against him. He said on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show he has suffered a ‘personal knock-out not a technical knock-out.
According to him, ever since he tried to correct the errors on his forms, Mrs Charlotte Osei has worked to frustrate him.
When he and others were given a second chance, Mr Ayariga alleges the APC went to the EC’s offices at 8am Monday morning. In a testament to her rude behaviour, they only managed to see Charlotte Osei at 7pm, he claimed.
Although the EC pointed out 95 more errors which she said included inconsistent signatures, Charlotte Osei also got angry when the APC pointed out 10 of the EC’s own inconsistent signatures.
Hassan Ayariga said Charlotte Osei raised her voice at them and questioned Ayariga’s place to cast doubt over the EC’s signatures.
The behaviour of the EC, he said, raises questions about the capability of women to handle sensitive positions like the EC chair.
Hassan Ayariga said the EC boss is too emotional to be fit for the job.

Nana, if I may correct you then I can also tell you that simple English is not that simple and that is why the EC disqualified all those candidates cos it's hard for her to understand the law and interpret it. And in this sentence separate the losers and the winner and Ayariga is one of the several losers and therefore can't be a winner at all cost, if she had used 'or' then he could be a winner or a looser.

Even mahama who has sworn to protect the constitution of Ghana which gives every Ghanaian protection without being selective is superintending over violence in parts of Ghana by ndc thugs. If Nana is the man ndc are afraid of then he is the man every Ghanaian is crying for to come and correct the wrongs. Those ndc ministers who have made parliament do or die business should know there is a law in our Constitution which will let them stand before the laws of our land,they are not above our laws and the laws will deal with them at the appropriate time. Who told them MPS are immune to prosecution? they will suffer for their evil deeds and should know ndc will never be there forever and crime has no expiry date. Probably Collins Dauda ' s brother will go back to their home country Niger where Collins Dauda has built a 2 story building for refuge when NPP wins this elections,but let me assure him he can run but can't hide,he will be fished out. He should continue to brag he is a murderer and in a little while his brother can never save him. The laws of this country will deal with him.
YOU ADMIT IN THE STORY THAT SHE DID NOT SAY IT. THIS YOUR REGIME CHANGE JOURNALISM WILL NOT WORK. NANA ADDO IS A WAR MONGERER. HE WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT OF PEACEFUL GHANA.
Get away with you man-hole size pusszy! An adulterer!! And she has no shame.
the words are clear the women said there will be one winner and several losers including Ayariga meaning he can either be a winner or loser this is simple English
Ayariga doesn't know Ghana very well, when he was insulting Nana Kuffo Addo he never thought of someone can insult and refuse him to be a legitimate citizen of Ghana and now here we are the law of KARMA IS IN DISPLAY BIG TIME..........
