Director of IT at the Electoral Commission,Dr Serebour Quaicoe has advised presidential candidates to seek financial backing from supporters if unable to independently raise the GHC 100,000 filing fee.
At a forum organized by the Institute of Democratic Governance, Dr Quaicoe questioned how candidates planning to run for the presidency could effectively campaign if they failed to secure the necessary funds.
He raised this concern and emphasized that running for office requires collective effort. He then urged candidates to rally their supporters to meet the financial requirements.
These statements followed the commission’s recent announcement of the nomination fees for the upcoming elections, which set the fee at GHC100,000 for male candidates and GHC75,000 for female candidates and those with disabilities.
