Disqualified NPP flagbearer aspirant retired Captain Nkrabeah Effah-Darteh is calling for fairness in the consideration of his appeal.
The NPP’s vetting committee cut short the Berekum MP’s presidential ambitions by disqualifying him from the race because a military marshal court convicted him of treason on May 21, 1981.
Article 62 clause 94 of the National constitution bars any person with a record of treason from contesting for president. But Captain Effah-Darteh has appealed his disqualification on the grounds that he was pardoned.
The party is expected to take a decision on the appeal within seven days. A member of Captain Effah-Darteh’s campaign team Kweku Ampofo says his boss expects nothing but fairness.
He says Captain Effah-Darteh is prepared to accept whatever decision that the party’s executive committee will take on the matter.
But the editor of the statesman newspaper, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko says the matter is not one for the consideration of the NPP. Speaking on JOY FM’s news analysis program, Newsfile, Mr. Otchere-Darko said only the Supreme Court can determine the case.
