Mumia Abu-Jamal was to appear on the
presidential ballot, but he decided just before the deadline for
withdrawing that he did not want to be considered for the Peace and
Freedom Party's Presidential nomination.)

candidate will be made at our August 2004 convention by the
members of the State Central Committee who were elected in the
March primary.
