Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations at the Electoral Commission (EC), Samuel Tettey, has reassured political parties and potential presidential candidates that sufficient time will be allocated for those seeking to run for the presidency.

This move aims to prevent the disqualification of aspirants due to time constraints, a situation that occurred in 2020 when five presidential hopefuls were disqualified.

During a stakeholder forum organized by the National Peace Council to promote peaceful elections in 2024, Mr Tettey emphasized this commitment.

“We are extending the days of nomination so that if there are certain challenges on the nomination forms of a particular candidate we would be able to resolve that before we put them on the ballot papers,” he stated.

He further highlighted that the Commission has already secured approximately 90% of the necessary election materials for the 2024 elections. The only remaining task is the printing of ballot papers, which will commence after the nominations have been received.

Mr Tettey underscored the importance of transparency in the electoral process, noting that all stages of the Commission's procedures must be carefully observed.

“The processes are so transparent and at every stage of the process if you have a challenge there is an appropriate end you can put it through,” he affirmed.
