Filing Of Presidential And Parliamentary Nominations Ends


Filling of presidential and parliamentary nominations came to an end at the close of day on Friday September 30, 2016.

The People’s National Convention PNC, and the Convention People’s Party CPP were at the premises of the EC to present their presidential nomination forms to the Commission.   

The flagbearer of the PNC, Dr. Edward Mahama, presented his forms in the company of his party chairman, Bernard Mornah.
