Mr Ayariga after suffering a defeat to his predecessor, Dr. Edward Mahama in the PNC presidential race has formed his own party called All People’s Congress (APC).
According to him, he was unfairly treated during their national congress, hence, his decision to contest the November polls on the ticket of his own party.
If the EC hands over the provisional license to him, it will bring the number of licensed political parties in Ghana to 26.

And those who were hoodwinked or lied to, that such an exercise was with the party’s sanction must as a matter of urgency, write or cause to be written a disclaimer to the Electoral Commission in the person’s District."
