Hassan Ayariga's APC to get provisional license

Hassan Ayariga
The 2012 presidential candidate of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Hassan Ayariga is scheduled to receive a provisional license for his newly formed political party.

The EC is expected to hand over the provisional license to Mr. Ayariga on Friday, January 29, 2016.

Mr Ayariga after suffering a defeat to his predecessor, Dr. Edward Mahama in the PNC presidential race has formed his own party called All People’s Congress (APC).

According to him, he was unfairly treated during their national congress, hence, his decision to contest the November polls on the ticket of his own party.

If the EC hands over the provisional license to him, it will bring the number of licensed political parties in Ghana to 26.

Meanwhile, the PNC has warned its members not to defect to the APC.

IA statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, Atik Mohammed said: "Any member who signs any such documents is by that act, forfeiting his membership of our great party. And those who were hoodwinked or lied to, that such an exercise was with the party’s sanction must as a matter of urgency, write or cause to be written a disclaimer to the Electoral Commission in the person’s District."
