Janet Nabla files legal action against EC today, calls for forensic audit on presidential candidates

Janet Nabla, the founder of the People’s National Party (PNP), has initiated legal proceedings against the Electoral Commission (EC), demanding a forensic audit of the nomination forms of the 13 candidates approved for the upcoming presidential elections.

In her legal action being filed today, Nabla seeks to ensure her return to the ballot paper.

“We want to get back into the ballot paper,” she asserted, while challenging the legitimacy of the candidates approved by the EC.

“We know that some of them did not get the 251 endorsement from the district,” she claimed, raising concerns over the validity of the nomination process.

Nabla further accused powerful individuals of influencing decisions within the EC, asserting, “I’m the anointed and no one can touch me.”

She expressed her belief that her disqualification stemmed from fear among her opponents, suggesting a deeper conspiracy against her candidacy.

“They have removed me as a result of fear. And whoever is behind the EC is going to lose the December polls,” she warned, positioning herself as a strong contender who will not back down easily.

In her emotional appeal, Nabla articulated her frustrations regarding the disqualification process, stating, “It is very painful and disheartening.”

She argued that disqualifications should be based on accurate information and fair assessments rather than political agendas.

“But when you see that you have put in doing the right thing, and persons you knew who did not even do the right things are part of the qualified 13,” she lamented, questioning the integrity of the EC’s decisions.

The EC had previously disqualified notable candidates, including Bernard Mornah of the People’s National Convention (PNC) and others, citing non-compliance with nomination requirements.

However, Nabla contested these claims, accusing the EC of dishonesty and calling out the alleged fabrications surrounding her vice-presidential candidate’s signature.

“If they are able to show us, I will not even contest anymore,” she challenged, urging transparency in the electoral process.
