PNC appeals to EC for opportunity to discuss redress

The People’s National Convention (PNC) has appealed to the Electoral Commission (EC) for an opportunity to discuss redress and get  the Presidential Candidate  of the party, Dr Edward Nasigre Mahama, back on the ballot.

The General Secretary of the PNC, Mr Atik Mohammed, has therefore urged  the rank and file of the  party to remain calm while  the leadership  work to get  the presidential candidate back on the ballot.

In a press statement, he explained that the Electoral Commission had  assigned reasons for disqualifying Dr Edward Nasigri Mahama, the 2016 presidential candidate of the PNC.

He, however,  stated that ‘’as a party, we have met and reviewed the concerns raised and have appealed to the EC for an opportunity to discuss redress.’’ 

 According to the statement, after studying the issues, ‘’we hold the view that these concerns can be remedied. Indeed, we have enough grounding to affect the decision of the Electoral Commission’’. 

 It will be recalled that  the EC this week rejected the nomination forms of Dr Mahama and 11 other presidential hopefuls for a number of reasons  including persons signing for two presidential candidates which was against the rules of engagement.
