Unexpectedly, the Electoral Commission has ruled that Phillip Appiah Kubi, better known as Roman Fada, who was elected to represent Akua Donkor, cannot run for the presidency in 2024. “Errors and illegalities” on his nomination form was the reason given. There’s more to the story than meets the eye, according to a new video that’s gone viral.
The video claims that two politicians, Dzataba and Akpaloo, made Roman Fada an incredible offer: 5 billion Ghana cedis in exchange for his decision to abstain from the election and support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the NPP. Roman Fada was alleged to have deflected the values ​​of the late Madam Akua Donkor, who trusted him to continue the goals of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). And the man’s claim that he has proof of his statement is what makes these allegations so explosive. . “I wouldn’t lie about this,” he says, “because if this goes to court, I can’t afford to make false statements.” Many have questioned the timing of Roman Fada’s disqualification in light of this news, which has caused controversy.
According to others, Roman Fada may have been “conveniently” disqualified because he refused to accept the alleged bribe. Given the turbulent election season for the GFP, the Electoral Commission’s decision has drawn criticism. After the untimely death of Akua Donkor, Roman Fada was chosen as the party’s presidential candidate. Roman Fada’s disqualification will have a major impact on the 2024 presidential election. The Electoral Commission will still produce ballot papers despite this setback, and the candidates’ positions will not change. One thing is certain as the electoral situation unfolds further: Ghanaians expect their leaders to be open and accountable.
