Disqualified UFP flag bearer Nana Agyenim Boateng
Nana Agyenim Boateng, standard-bearer of the United Front Party (UFP), has sued the Electoral Commission of the High Court for disqualifying him from the presidential race on December 7, 2020.
Gyataba, as Nana Agyenim Boateng is popularly known in political circles, was one of five presidential hopefuls who were disqualified in the race.
The EC said that the UFP’s standard-bearer’s nomination had false signatures and therefore his disqualification.

Before filing the lawsuit, Gyataba had told Valentina Ofori-Afriyie at 505 on Class91.3FM on Monday, October 19, 2020 that: “I will take you to court. [today].
“Even not at all, the record that you are using from now on, is a provisional record and the word ‘provisional’, what is the meaning of provisional? It is not a certified record.
“How can you, based on a provisional record, disqualify someone?
“They are not serious; they are playing with fire. “
Meanwhile, the EC has reiterated its determination to hold free, fair, credible, transparent and peaceful elections in December.
Therefore, the Election Commission has asked Ghanaians to ignore allegations of manipulation and claims of a flawed electoral process by any individual or section of society.
