The EC disqualified Dr, Papa Kwesi Nduom and 12 other people from the December polls for various errors detected in their nominations.

But the High Court presided by Justice Kyei Baffuor ruled that the EC was unfair in the decision.

The court said the commission failed to set a nomination period for the submission of the forms.

The judges also said a nomination period would have determined the final day for the submission of the forms and given the EC legitimate basis to reject forms not properly filled.
