A meeting to determine which political party to support in the December elections has been announced by the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP).
This judgment follows the disqualification of Philip Appiah Kubi, the GFP’s substitute flagbearer, by the Electoral Commission (EC) for serious mistakes and violations on his candidacy form.
According to EC Chairperson Jean Mensa, Kubi was disqualified from the presidential campaign because some of the violations persisted after the GFP was given a 10-day opportunity to address them.
Richard Botchway, the GFP’s National Organiser, told reporters in Accra after the EC’s announcement on Tuesday that the party’s national executives would soon convene to decide which party or candidate to back in the December election.
“We’ll meet. I am going to meet the national executive and we will throw our support to one political party,” he stated.
Botchway also opined that “all the political parties are aware that nobody is going to contest for the GFP in the upcoming election. So we have all made the decision that in the next election we will make a good structure and get another flagbearer.
“We are mourning and we are going to rebuild our mother Aunty’s Akua Donkor’s party in the next election. We don’t have a divided front.
“We started with Madam Akua Donkor in 2012, 2016 so what our General Secretary said on air was not true so he shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
