Nomination Filing: Mahama has disrespected Ghana's electoral process – Anyidoho claims

Former Deputy General Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has expressed his disappointment in John Dramani Mahama for refusing to file his nomination forms in person.

According to him, this shows a total disrespect for the election process in the country and should not be tolerated.

"JM has missed a big opportunity to demonstrate that he is serious about winning the election on December 7th. By not personally presenting his documents to the EC, he has greatly disrespected Ghana's electoral process," he said in a post shared via X (formerly Twitter).

On Monday, September 9, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, along with other prominent members of the NDC, submitted John Dramani Mahama's forms to the Electoral Commission. Mahama was campaigning in the Bono Region at the time of the nomination filing in Accra.

In a social media post, Mahama expressed concerns about the Electoral Commission's work and called for a forensic audit of the voter register not to be ignored.

Read his post below:

I agree with Nana Chiraahene, Barima Mintah Afari II that the sanctity of the December election must not be sacrificed—the Electoral Commission has the responsibility to guarantee that sanctity.

Our repeated calls on Jean Mensah and the Commission to ensure fairness and free elections continue to be rebuffed, but as Nana Chiraahene stated, the Commission must be careful to avoid plunging this country into chaos due to its avoidable mistakes and actions.

The call for a forensic audit of the voter register is not a demand of the NDC alone. It is a legitimate demand from all peace-loving Ghanaians who desire a free, fair, and peaceful election on December 7. The demand for the audit must and should unite us all in our quest for electoral integrity.

Former Deputy General Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has expressed his disappointment in John Dramani Mahama over his refusal to file his nomination forms by himself.

According to him, it is a total disrespect for the electioneering processes in the country and must not be tolerated.

“JM has lost a big opportunity to prove that he is serious about winning the election on December 7th. By not going to present his documents personally to the EC, he has grossly disrespected the electoral process of Ghana,” he said in a tweet.

Filing of documents at the EC is a major milestone in the electoral process and every serious contender does so himself/herself. In 2008, by the time Candidate Atta-Mills finished filing and the crowd gathered at Kukuhill, we knew we had won. Why did JM not go himself? Hmm! pic.twitter.com/KphC9E6AN8
