A simple clerical error should never be the basis for disqualifying a candidate.
It should be based on the person not being fit and proper to hold the office as stipulated by the constitution.
If there are any weaknesses in the law the ec should point it out so that parliament can rectify it.
It is absurd that as things currently stand we can in theory have as many as a thousand presidential candidates on ballot . clearly that is not practical but the methods being used by the ec doesn't make sense. Take for instance ayariga claiming to have spent $4m so far. If that's true then it's clearly a waste.
The registration process needs to be changed to allow candidates to have their application reviewed and be given a chance to correct clerical errors to stop this wastage. Additional rules must be brought to streamline the process. Currently we have a form for presidential candidates as well as MPs.Maybe another set should be brought in to allow for independent candidates or parties with no mps in parliament. We all remember the crazy situation where npp nearly had 20 candidates for their primaries. If that was the national election illiterates or even educated folk will struggle to find the candidate of their choice.

Those who have been rejected by the EC should petition the president to invoke article 72. Mahama should have the same sympathy with them. See muntie 3 for the trick.

Ei, Ghanaians have soon forgotten Justice Atuguba's final comment on 'go to court; go to court'. Which one will save our dear nation; five minutes for correction or long litigation? Pls we should not be too emotional and judgemental about Dr. Nduom. It happened to Nana Addo, JM & JOY but only these three were called to rectify and EC is only hiding behind ' we called them because they filed early'. NPP shoud note that now EC is doing it to Nduom but when it comes to Nana and JM she will definately know her master. EC is dancing a bad dance oo...asem se be!

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

The ec should allow the process to last for a reasonable period to allow for clerical errors to be corrected. We all remember the number of errors that the ndc government made when they printed the independence brochure. It is possible to have someone like Akua donkey being a good president but she can't even write her own name. I am sure you have heard of Yaa Asantewaa.Wasnt she a good leader? Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt she had a PhD.Gen Acheampong did not have a degree but compare the current donkey we have to him.Acheampong only took one loan. Managerial and leadership qualities are not the same

THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION, MADAM CHARLOTTE OSEI HAS KEENLY DEMONSTRTED HOW GENUINE SHE IS ADMINISTERING THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS AND POLICIES OF THE NATION.

MADAM,YOU HAVE TO BE CONGRATULATED FOR EXPOSING THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF THESE POLITICAL ROGUES AND CROOKS,WHO HAVE ALWAYS HAD IN MIND TO UNDERMINE THE NATION AND TO REAP FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH ENDS.

IF,THE STATE OF GHANA WAS TO HAVE HUNDREDS OF THE TYPE OF YOU, THE NATION WOULD HAVE BEEN TRASFORMED AND TO ALLEVIATE EXTREME POVERTY IN THE COUNTRY.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS OF THE OVERTHTHROW OF THE CPP AND NKRUMAH, THE NATION HAS ONLY BEEN BADLY MANAGED BY CRIMINAL THIEVES AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND POLITICIANS IN THE COUNTRY.

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IN THE COUNTRY, BE THEY IN THE SO CALLED CITIES, URBAN AND DISTRICT CENTRES, TOWNS RURAL AREAS, THERE ARE STILL NO SIGNS OF ECONMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT,THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE LATE FIFTIES THROUGH TO MIDDLE SIXTIES ARE ALL IN SHAMBLES.

THE SEVENTY(70%)PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS STILL LIVE IN ''MUD AND HUT STRUCTURES'' STRETCHING BEYOND THE HORIZON WITHOUT BASIC AMENITIES, WATER,COTTAGE INDUSTRIES, COMMUNICATION,ROADS,ENERGY, LIBRARIES,KINDERGARTEN AND SANITATION.

THE SO CALLLED EDUCATED WÍTH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES OBTAINED AT HOME AND ABROAD AND WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN USING SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO TRANSFORMM THE ECONOMY,ARE ONLY BENT AON HOW TO MANÍPULATE AND EMBEZZLE STATE FUNDS EARNED FROM THE HARDWORK OF THE ILLITERATE COCOA FARMERS AND UNSKILLED MINE WORKERS TO IMPORT EXPENSIVE AMD LUXURY CARS AND JEEPS FOR MERRYMAKING IN THE COUNTRY, AND NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT MAKES THE VERY COMPONENTS OF THEIR CAR REMOTE CONTROL.

THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS WHO SHOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN THE BACKBONE OF GHANA'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAVE STILL NOT BEEN IN THE POSITION TO SHAPE AND TRANSFORM THE ECONOMY OF THE NATION.

THEIR ONLY CALL OF NOTE, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TO SIT, WAIT,WATCH AND PRAY, AND TO CRITICISE ANY GOVERNMEMT THAT CAME TO POWER IN GHANA.

HE STATE HAS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH EVERYTHING, BUNGALOWS, FREE CARS AND JEEPS,FREE GAS AND DRIVERS.

IT WAS THE SAME APPROACH AND TACTICS USED, WHEN THE ARMED CRIMINALS IN MILITARY UNIFORMS SEIZED POWER IN GHANA IN 1966.

FOLKS LIKE LATE KWAPONG,V.C.R.C CRABBE, DA ROCHA,DA COSTA, KOI LARBI,VICTOR OWUSU,JOE APPIAH,J.H.MENSAH,BOAHENE,APOLLO,
OBETSEBI LAMPTEY,AMPONSAH DADZIE,R.R AMPONSAH, ANTON,S.DOMBO, OPOKU WARE II, ASANTEHENE AND OFORI ATTA.

THEY WERE ALWAYS ON TALK SHOWS TO CONDEMN THE ECONOMIC GROWTH ANDDEVELOPMEMT THAT HAD TAKEN OFF IN THE COUNTRY,INDUSTRIES, MANUFACTURING,PROCESSING, INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY THAT WERE GRADUALLY TAKING OFF AND GHANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ON THE LEADERSHIP OF KWAME NKRUMAH.

THESE CRIMINALS SIMPLY ADVISED THE SEMI-LITERATE MILITARY REGIME OF NLC, NATIONAL LIBERATION COUNCIL TO ABANDON ALL DEVELOPMEMT PROJECTS IN THE COUNTRY, AND TO GIVETHEM THE FINEST OPPORTUNITIES TO DRAIN THE COFFERS OF THE NATION AND TO LOOT PROPERTIES OF THE GOVERNMENT.

WHERE ARE WE NOW AFTER FIFTY YEARS, GHANA AIRWAYS BANKRUPT,AND ONCE THE BACKBONE OF GHANA'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, THE GHANA RAILWAYS, WHICH IS NOW FULLY CRIPPLED AND BROKEN DOWN TOGETHER WITH ITS LOCATION WORKS, AN INDUSTRIAL PLANT AT KETAN, SEKONDI.

LASTLY, DO THE PRESENT EDICATED HOLDING POSITIONS AND LEADERS IN GHANA KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE GOING IN THE 21st CENTURY.

VERY SAD AND PATHETIC TO SEE OUR HOMELAND TO BE DECLSRED AS HEAVILY INDEPTED POOR COUNTRY(HIPC)IN THE WORLD.

WHAT IS EVEN SAD IS, THEY STILL CONTINUE TO BOAST WITH THEIR DEGREES AND PHD TITLES IN THE MIDST OF ECONOMIC BACKWARDNESS,UNDERDEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY.

GOD SAVE OUR HOMELAND GHANA.

It is very unfortunate and rather unwanton that an experienced Presidential Candidate like Mr. Ndoum should be found wanting in respecting nomination requirements. Lack of responsabilitity and disregard for the Laws governing this particular case can be attributed to him. Thence he is unfit to Govern Ghana. so are all the disqualified candidates.
