All candidates had the chance to correct their errors – EC

-

The Electoral Commission (EC) has said all the presidential candidates who had errors in their nomination forms were allowed to correct them.

According to the EC boss, Jean Mensa, some of the candidates after they were notified made the corrections while others returned the forms with the same or similar mistakes.

Madam Mensa disclosed this at a media briefing on Friday, stressing the commission has been fair and transparent.

This followed the disqualification of 11 candidates out of the 24 who filed their nominations for the December 7 election after a thorough vetting process.

“As in 2020 , the presidential candidate were given a five-day period for the filing process. This allowed enough time for aspirants to correct any errors identified in their forms. All in all these eliminate the confusion and tension that characterise previous nomination processes prior to 2020,” She said.

Meanwhile, some of the disqualified candidates are threatening to challenge their disqualification in court.
