Will Ayariga to endorse Mahama or Nana Addo
Disqualified presidential nominee of the All
People’s Congress (APC), Dr Hassan Ayariga, is
set to declare his support for one of the seven
candidates contesting this year’s presidential
election.

Mr Ayariga is scheduled to make the declaration
next week Thursday at the APC’s extraordinary
national delegates congress in Kumasi in the
Ashanti Region. Although the party is silent on
the candidate Dr Ayariga would endorse for the
December 7 elections, political watchers are
predicting he is likely to declare support for
President John Mahama of the National Democratic
Congress.

Many Ghanaians have over the years held the view
Ayariga and his APC are being sponsored by the NDC
against the New Patriotic Party in view of his
campaign utterances, but Dr Ayariga has rejected
that claim.

A statement issued by the party’s General
Secretary, Razak Kojo Opoku, said the “APC
believes in win and share power,” suggesting the
APC will be making overtures to the candidate to
be endorsed.

Ayariga and 12 other presidential nominees were on
October 10 disqualified from contesting the
December 7 elections after the Electoral
Commission discovered various anomalies some of
which bothered on criminality, on their nomination
forms.
