The People’s National Party (PNP) has announced that its flagbearer, Janet Asana Nabla, will not take legal action over her disqualification from the upcoming December presidential elections.

This decision comes after the Electoral Commission (EC) disqualified Madam Nabla for failing to correct errors in her nomination form.

In a statement issued on Thursday, October 3, the PNP expressed its disagreement with the EC’s reasons for the disqualification but emphasised that its candidate would not seek legal redress.

The party acknowledged the EC’s authority in the matter, though it remained unsatisfied with the decision.

The PNP further highlighted that their focus as a political party extends beyond merely participating in elections.

It said it is committed to educating citizens on political matters, helping them make informed decisions on governance and its impact on society.

The party stressed that educating the public on issues like government policies and political systems is crucial for deepening democracy and fostering better civic engagement.

The PNP believes that a well-informed citizenry plays a key role in shaping the country.

While the PNP is disappointed by Madam Nabla’s disqualification, it reaffirmed its commitment to continuing its work in political education, encouraging Ghanaians to stay engaged in the political process and advocating for policies that benefit all citizens.

“The party upon consulting its members across the country has chosen to let it go, and rather concentrate on receiving its final certificate to enable it to operate as a full-fledged political party," it said.

The PNP was formed by a break away group from the People's National Convention, PNC, whose flagbearer, Bernard Mornah has coincidentally been disqualified by the EC.

He is however challenging his disqualification in court.
