The Electoral Commission is expected to present a provisional license to a new political party; the All Peoples Party (APC) this week. The APC, founded by the former flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Hassan Ayariga, is expected to contest the November general elections. 


This brings to 26, the total number of political parties licensed by the Electoral Commission. 

Mr Ayariga fell out with the PNC following his defeat to Dr Edward Mahama in the party’s congress where he claimed he was unfairly treated.

There were however no known prior disagreements between him and his former party.

The latest development comes on the back of a PNC announcement that any members who had signed documents for the formation of Ayariga’s new party should renounce their decision.
