Presidential Candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, says the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana has to reprint presidential ballot papers for the 2024 elections.
He raising concerns over the EC still keeping the late Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) candidate, Akua Donkor, on the ballot paper.
Kofi Akpaloo argues that keeping her image could affect election results, as her appearance on the ballot might confuse voters and lead to unintended outcomes.
Addressing the press on Wednesday, November 11, he noted that if a new GFP candidate had been approved, the EC would likely have reprinted the ballots to reflect this change.
According to him, reprinting the ballots in this case is equally essential to preserving the integrity of the electoral process and avoiding potential disputes over vote counting.
He insists allowing votes to be cast for a deceased candidate could potentially skew percentages and lead to post-election disputes.
Kofi Akpaloo emphasized the importance of preventing any situation in which candidates might challenge the results on these grounds, urging the EC to act promptly by removing Akua Donkor’s image from the ballot.
