The Electoral Commission of Ghana has cancelled the certifications
of 17 political parties because these parties do not have a regional or
national presence and are thus breaking the law.
In October, the EC gave the political parties until the end of the
month to provide evidence as to why their registrations should not be cancelled
in accordance with Act 574 of the Political Parties Act of 2000.
Following the expiration of the deadline, a notice that was signed by the Chairperson of the E.C.,
Jean Mensa, and issued by her was published on Monday, November 14, 2022.
“Pursuant to the publication by the Electoral Commission dated 13th & 17th October 2022, the General Public is hereby informed that the Registration Certificates of the under-listed Political Parties have been cancelled in accordance with Section 15 (3) (c) of the Political Parties Law, 2000 (Act 574) effective the 1st day of November. 2022:
