GH₵100K Filing Fee For Presidential Candidates Is Unreasonable – NDC

Published

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otokunor, has slammed the Electoral Commission (EC) for what he describes as an unreasonable filing fee for Presidential candidates in the December 7 polls.

Mr. Otokunor questioned what factors the EC considered before arriving at such an exorbitant amount.

Addressing the issue in an interview on NEAT FM’s morning show Ghana Montie, Otokunor stated that the 100% increment is a ploy by EC to cut off some aspirants from the ballot.

“Their plot is unfair to the democratic advancement of this country. A democratic instituition like the EC should not put in policies to negatively affect others,” he told host Mac Jerry Osei Agyeman.
