FIVE ASPIRANTS VETTED, TWO LEFT TO GO

Winner of our Presidential Poll, Raymond Bayor,
appeared before the Vetting Committee on Friday.
The Electoral Commission vetted five out of the seven aspirants who are vying for various SRC positions on Friday.

The VC held an open vetting at the seminar room.

Sole-runners Bayor Yeldidong Raymond, Godfred Tawiah Gogo and Isaac Kofi Batini all appeared before the Vetting Committee on Friday afternoon.

Gifty Amevor and Freda Dedzie who have squared up to in the contest for Women's Commissioner position were also vetted by the committee.

Uncontested Presidential hopeful Bayor appeared composed and collected during the Vetting Committee's questioning and deliberations.

Gogo on the other hand kept his composure and the committee appeared satisfactory with the former Speaker of GA.

Gogo is the only contender for the SRC General Secretary position.

Ms Freda Dedzie who picked up nomination forms at the eleventh hour appeared in order.

The Vetting Committee is expected to continue its sitting on Monday with Atawura Philip and Gyan Enock are expected to appear.

Gyan Enock who was expected to be vetted last was told to appear before the committee on Monday.

It is widely expected that all aspirants will be declared legible to contest for their various office though an objection was brought up against Isaac Kofi Batini.

The Financial Secretary hopeful was accused of campaigning before the EC paved the way for aspirants to do so.

However, Mr Batini denied the allegation and told the committee he just declared his intentions.

If an aspirant is disqualified after the Vetting Committee releases its report, nominations shall be reopened for fresh applications.
