In a press statement issued on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, Mr. Nuamah said “For the past 72 hours, I have not been able to complete the filing of my nomination electronically, as well as make payment for the filing. All efforts have proven fruitless”.
He said, “After May engagement of relevant personnel behind the party’s electronic platform, I found this to be another Machiavellian tactic to prevent me from successfully filing my
nomination”.
He added that he has petitioned the appropriate stakeholders and hope they will resolve the problem immediately.
“In the meantime, I have presented my Manuel requirement to the election directorate to signify my submission while I await the online rectification”, he added
