Janet Asana Nabla, who did not qualify as an independent presidential candidate for Election 2024 says she will concentrate and ensure that the People’s National Party (PNP) she has formed becomes a fully fledged political party.
She formed the PNP with the symbol of a palm tree after breaking away from the People’s National Convention (PNC), a political party she served as a general secretary.
The new PNP has been issued with a provisional certificate by the Electoral Commission and so she attempted to contest the 2024 presidential election as an independent candidate but she did not qualify.
The Electoral Commission after scrutinising her nomination forms disqualified her for using registration details of particular voters to support her nomination in certain districts in other districts.
The person she selected as her vice presidential candidate did not also sign the nomination forms.
When the Electoral Commission drew her attention to the issues, they were not resolved and so she was disqualified.
But Graphic Online’s Benjamin Xornam Glover, reports that the General Secretary of the People’s National Party (PNP), Sulemana Seidu, the political party of which Ms Nabla is the chairperson and leader, in a statement issued on Thursday [Oct 3, 2024] indicated that their concentration is now on how to get a full certificate from the Electoral Commission.
