Eld. Perkoh, an Independent Candidate to sue Electoral Commission over “injustice”

Elder Paul Perkoh, an independent presidential candidate for Ghana’s 2024 presidential election, has vowed to take legal action against the Electoral Commission (EC), accusing the body of unjustly barring him from the race.
Elder Paul, who was one of 11 aspirants disqualified after a review of nomination forms, claims the commission’s decision represents a wider injustice not only to him but to the people of Ghana.
The EC announced the disqualifications on Friday (20 September), citing the candidates’ failure to meet the requirements despite being given opportunities to correct errors in their submissions.
In an interview with journalists, the Independent Candidate, Elder Paul Perkoh said his disqualification was intentional. 

“I rectified every error even on my own and gave it to the EC so Jane Mensah decided to disqualify me for no better reasons.
I am going to court. The EC has no power to decide the people they want to contest for this year. They were not there to tell Ghanaians what to do; they were there to just do their work and they have failed woefully to do that work” he said.
