Candidates had until Thursday to submit nomination papers, but Ghana's electoral commission said Rawlings' forms were not properly completed. "Portions of the nomination forms were not properly filled by the National Democratic Party and the electoral commission's deadline for filling nominations has passed today," Sylvia Annor, electoral commission spokeswoman, told AFP. "There were major errors on their forms and they could not meet the deadline to rectify them hence the disqualification." Posted by: Fred 2012-10-20 |
