Elder Dr. Paul Perkoh, Leader Of National Movement For Liberation To Petition Supreme Court Over Disqualification

Elder Dr.Paul Perkoh, an esteemed Elder at the Church of Pentecost Ghana and founder of the National Movement For Liberation, is taking a bold step by petitioning the Supreme Court over his disqualification as a presidential aspirant by the Electoral Commission of Ghana. 

This decision comes after Elder Dr. Perkoh felt his disqualification was unfair, unlawful, and unconstitutional.

As the founder of the National Movement For Liberation, Dr. Perkoh has been vocal about his commitment to creating positive change in Ghana. His experience as an Elder at the Church of Pentecostal, an institution with a rich history dating back to 1937, has likely shaped his values and leadership style.

The Church of Pentecost has a strong presence in the country, with its General Headquarters located in Accra. The church's emphasis on community service and social responsibility, aligns with Dr. Perkoh's vision for the National Movement For Liberation.

Dr. Perkoh's petition to the Supreme Court is a significant development in Ghana's political landscape. 

It raises important questions about the electoral process, the rule of law, and the rights of citizens, as stated in Article 62 and 63 of the constitution. 

Key Issues at Stake:

1. Constitutional Rights: Was Dr. Perkoh's disqualification a violation of his constitutional rights as a citizen of Ghana?

2. Electoral Transparency: Did the Electoral Commission of Ghana follow due process in disqualifying Perkoh?

3. Accountability: Will the Supreme Court's decision set a precedent for future electoral disputes?

As this story unfolds, Ghanaians will be watching closely to see how the Supreme Court addresses these critical issues.
