Dr Nkrumah, who claims to be a son of former President Kwame Nkrumah, was disqualified for not meeting the criteria and conditions for filing, according to General Secretary Nii Armah Akomfrah.
"He presented a fraudulent cheque and that was the basis [on which] the party disqualified him. The party required a banker's draft or cash; he presented a cheque. We worked around it, we tried to find a way, and in the end we could not admit him because there was no sufficient fund to be able to admit him," Mr Akomfrah explained.
