The Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations at the Electoral Commission (EC), Samuel Tettey, has assured political parties and all others that sufficient time will be provided for those seeking to contest for the presidency.
According to him, this measure aims to prevent the disqualification of any aspirant due to time constraints, as happened in 2020 when five presidential aspirants were disqualified.
Speaking at the National Peace Council's stakeholder forum to promote peaceful 2024 elections, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized this commitment by saying, “We are extending the days of nomination so that if there are certain challenges on the nomination forms of a particular candidate we would be able to resolve that before we put them on the ballot papers”.
He noted that the Commission has procured about 90% of the election-related materials needed for the 2024 elections. The only remaining task is printing the ballot papers, which will be done after receiving the nominations.
Mr Tettey emphasised that to ensure a very transparent election, all stages of the Commission's processes must be observed.
“The processes are so transparent and at every stage of the process if you have a challenge there is an appropriate end you can put it through.
