Court quashes Hassan Ayariga' disqualification

The Accra High Court has quashed the decision of the Electoral Commission (EC) to disqualify the presidential aspirant of the All People’s Congress (APC), Mr Hassan Ayariga.

Subsequently, the court has ordered the EC to give Mr Ayariga the opportunity to correct the errors on his forms within a limited time, Graphic Online's Emmanuel Ebo Hawkson, who was in court Friday morning reported.

According to the court, presided over by Ms Justice Barbara Tetteh-Charway, the failure of the EC to notify Mr Ayariga of the errors on his forms and give him an opportunity to correct them was in violation of C.I. 94 and thus the EC did not act fairly and reasonably in disqualifying the APC presidential aspirant.
