It said the committee was mandated to scrutinise and verify all relevant records of the party’s parliamentary candidates to ensure they met all the eligibility requirements enshrined in the 1992 Constitution before they filed their nomination forms with the Electoral Commission (EC).

It said private legal practitioner, Mr Frank Davies, was the chairman of the committee with other members being Mrs Cecilia Dapaah; Dr Clifford Braimah; Francis Albert Nyonyo; Gifty Oware-Aboagye and Kofi Nti.

For their part, the chairpersons of the committees, who spoke on behalf of their members, thanked the party leadership for the opportunity to serve on the respective committees and promised to work assiduously to further the party’s interest at all material times. - #GhanaVotes2020#
