Election 2016: CID probes Nduom, Konadu, others
The 12 presidential candidates disqualified by the
Electoral Commission (EC) are being probed by the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the
Ghana Police Services for alleged illegality, the
Publication Relations Officer of the CID, ASP
Joseph Benefo Darkwa has revealed.

The probe follows the Electoral commission’s
referral of all electoral offences to the CID for
the needed actions to be taken.

Speaking to Accra FM on Friday, ASP Benefo stated
that “…The CID is investigating issues of
multiple registration and different signatures on
the forms. These are some of the things we saw on
their forms and investigations have started. We
have invited all of them to appear before the CID
and accordingly some have appeared, whereas others
have indicated they need adequate time to
prepare.”

“Some of them did not follow the law in filling
their forms and after our investigations, will
give the report to the Attorney General for
advice,” He added:

The affected persons are flag bearers of the All
People's Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga; Dr Edward
Mahama of the People's National Convention (PNC);
Dr Agyenim Boateng of the United Front Party
(UFP); Kofi Akpaloo of the Independent People's
Party (IPP); Kwabena Adjei of the Reformed
Patriotic Democrats (RPD); and Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom
of the Progressive People's Party (PPP).

The others include: Dr Henry Herbert Lartey of the
Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP); Mr
Richard Nixon Tetteh (United Development Systems
Party); Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings of the
National Democratic Party (NDP); Thomas Ward-Brew
of the Democratic People’s Party (DPP); Alfred
Kwame Asiedu Walker, an independent candidate, and
Akua Donkor of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). Mr
Akwasi Addae Odike of the United Progressive
Party's nomination is on hold pending a court
case.

Mrs Osei cited among other things fraudulent
signatures on the nomination forms.
