Samuel Apea-Danquah, popularly known as “Yellow Ghana,” has taken legal action against the Electoral Commission (EC) after being disqualified from the 2024 presidential race.

Apea-Danquah was among 11 presidential hopefuls disqualified by the EC due to irregularities found in their nomination forms.

In a motion filed on Thursday, as obtained by Citi News, Apea-Danquah is seeking a court order (certiorari) to overturn the EC’s decision. He is also requesting an order of mandamus to compel the EC to reinstate him as a valid candidate for the upcoming elections.

In his lawsuit, Apea-Danquah argues that his disqualification is unjust and seeks to have the decision reversed in time for the 2024 polls.

In a related development, Bernard Anbataayela Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), and Kofi Asamoah-Siaw, the leader of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), have also filed lawsuits challenging their disqualification by the EC, similarly citing procedural issues with the nomination process.

These disqualified candidates are seeking redress from the courts in hopes of securing their spots on the ballot for the 2024 general elections.
