Madam Akua Donkor’s comment comes after some smaller political parties including the Peoples National Convention (PNC) and the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) are calling for a reduction of the amount. But Akua Donkor in an interview with Adom News’ Afia Boakyewaa Yiadom after picking her forms said, the concerns being raised by the smaller parties are 'baseless'. According to her, any candidate who complains about the filing fee announced by the EC is not fit to be president. On her readiness to contest the elections, Akua Donkor said she won’t repeat her past mistakes so she is working assiduously to secure the needed signatures for her name to appear on the ballot paper.
