Other presidential candidates expected to submit their nominations today are Akua Donkor, Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Jacob Osei Yeboah, an independent candidate, and Hassan Ayariga, All People’s Congress (APC).
The president will send his nomination forms to the EC president, who is also the returning officer for the presidential elections.
The Commission will receive the nomination forms filled out from the candidates between 9:00 am and 12 noon and 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm each day.
As a measure to adhere to Covid-19 security protocols, the Commission has limited the number of people to submit forms at headquarters or district offices to five people per candidate.
Additionally, nomination forms are also available online for applicants.
