Charlotte Osei is a tyrant - Hassan Ayariga

Disqualified presidential nominee of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, has described the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei as a "tyrant" and "a disgrace to womanhood".

Mr Ayariga is still fuming after he was disqualified for the second time by the EC and has accused Mrs Osei of disrespecting the laws of the land.

According to him, Mrs Osei is likely to plunge the country into chaos because she consistently disrespects rulings from the Supreme Court.

"Why does she think she has her own laws. The law says give reasons and she says no. The Supreme Court says do the balloting today, She disrespected the Supreme Court of our land and did her balloting yesterday," Mr Ayariga said in an interview on GHONE TV.

"This woman is not a woman, this woman is a tyrant and she has disrespected the laws of our land and the Supreme Court should call her to order...

"Charlotte is a disgrace to womanhood and this little child will never forgive her and God himself will never forgive her."

Background

The APC’s flag bearer was one of 13 aspirants disqualified by the EC for various anomalies in their nomination forms. 

At the time of his first disqualification, the EC identified two errors on his forms but following a ruling by the Supreme Court that all the disqualified nominees be given the opportunity to make amends, the election management body said it subsequently detected 93 new errors.

The EC asked him to correct all those errors by the 5pm deadline last Tuesday given by the Supreme Court.

Mr Ayariga resubmitted the corrected nomination but his candidature was rejected by the EC for the second time, ruling him out of the December polls. 

The nomination forms of seven other aspirants were also rejected.
