In a significant turn of events, 20 independent presidential candidates have officially filed their nominations to contest the upcoming December 7, 2024, elections in Ghana. These candidates are united in their stance that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) have mismanaged the country, leading to 32 years of political stagnation. Their collective decision to run reflects a growing disillusionment with the dominant political forces and a desire to offer fresh leadership.

Candidates

Among those who have submitted their nominations to the Electoral Commission (EC) are notable figures such as Mr. Alan Kyerematen, leader of the Movement for Change, and others including Mr. George Twum-Barima-Adu, Mr. Samuel Apea-Danquah, Nana Kwame Bediako, Jacob Osei Yeboah, Richard Sumah, Kofi Koranteng, Desmond Abrefa, Dr. Agnes Ayisha, Dr. Nii Amu Darko, Wilberforce Andrews, Nana Stephens, Rev. Samuel Worlanyo, Amenya TK, Robert Roy Reindof, Paul Perkah, and Seth Ntin Agarko.

Candidates

The list also features Steven Atubigah, Janet Asana Nabla, and Sam Ankrah, indicating a diverse group of candidates ready to challenge the status quo.

Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, the Director of Training at the Electoral Commission, has advised Ghanaians to brace for a lengthy ballot in the December 7 elections. He emphasized that in addition to the 20 independent candidates, 12 political parties have also submitted their nomination forms, setting the stage for a highly competitive and unprecedented electoral contest.
