The flagbearer of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to reprint the presidential ballot papers for the 2024 elections, citing concerns over the presence of the deceased Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) candidate, Akua Donkor, on the ballot.

Akpaloo argues that retaining Akua Donkor’s image could impact the outcome of the election. He further contends that if a new flagbearer for the GFP had been approved to contest, the EC would have reprinted the ballots to reflect this change.

Akpaloo made his demand at a press conference on Wednesday, November 13, emphasizing that a reprint would uphold the integrity of the ballot and prevent potential voter confusion.

“Having a ballot paper with Akua Donkor’s picture is going to create a whole lot of problems in the country. People are going to vote for Akua Donkor, of whom we are all aware that she is not alive so how are they going to do the counting? Because with the presidential polls, we do the calculations based on the percentage garnered by each candidate

“Are we going to say that those votes that were cast for her will be taken off the ballot or are they going to be counted?

“We don’t want a situation whereby a losing candidate will say he will not accept the results because of percentages, and so we are asking the EC to reprint new ballot papers without Akua Donkor’s picture on them.”
