The 2016 presidential nominee of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, has indicated that his party will now intensify their campaign.

This follows the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the EC’s suit challenging the High Court ruling asking the EC to allow Dr Nduom to correct the errors on his nomination forms.

The seven-member panel in its ruling asked the election management body to extend the nomination period to November 8 and allow the parties to correct their mistakes in order to contest the polls.

The EC disqualified Dr, Papa Kwesi Nduom and 12 other people from the December polls for various errors detected in their nominations.

But the High Court presided by Justice Kyei Baffuor ruled that the EC was unfair in the decision.

The judges said a nomination period would have determined the final day for the submission of the forms and given the EC legitimate basis to reject forms not properly filled.
