National Democratic Party (NDP) presidential aspirant Kebba Madi Bojang, has presented his record of community development as his strongest qualification for leading the country, even as some of his education documents remained outstanding during his nomination at the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
Speaking after submitting his nomination papers on Friday ahead of the December 5, 2026 presidential election, Mr. Bojang said his contributions to healthcare, education and agriculture demonstrated his commitment to improving people’s lives.

However, during the nomination process, Bojang presented his 2025 private West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results without the corresponding certificate. He also submitted his tertiary education results but did not present the certificate.
His personal income tax clearance also remained pending, as the document he submitted was issued in the name of his business rather than his personal name.

The NDP, which is a registered political party, has also submitted its manifesto, although its number of registered voters remains pending.
