Story: News Desk 

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will take the number one position on the ballot paper ahead of the upcoming December 7 polls.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) will occupy the number 8 spot.

This arrangement was finalised during the balloting process conducted at the Electoral Commission’s office (EC) in Accra.

Full list of positions 

Mahamudu Bawumia – NPP – No.1

John Dramani Mahama – NDC – No.8

Christian Kwabena Andrews – GUM – No.4

Daniel Augustus Lartey Inr – GCPP – No.2

Akua Donkor – Ghana Freedom Party – No.3

George Twum-Barima-Adu – Independent Candidate – No.11

Nana Kwame Bediako – Independent Candidate – No.12

Alan John Kyerematen – Independent Candidate – No.13

Earlier, the Commission officially approved 13 candidates to contest in the upcoming elections. 

After what it said was a thorough vetting process, the EC’s approved candidates include individuals from a range of political backgrounds, including candidates from major parties and several independents. 

But the process did not go without chaos.

This occurred after the commission conducted the first part of the process, which was to determine the sequence in which the actual balloting would proceed.

One by one, representatives selected their slots on Friday afternoon.

Following this, Dr. Omane Boamah, Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), raised concerns that one of the balls had a unique feature that could compromise the integrity of the process.

But NPP’s National Director of Research and Elections, Evans Nimako would have none of that.

After over 30 minutes of argument, the commission agreed to replace the affected ball, and the process was set to be re-run from scratch.
