The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is contesting the results of four outstanding constituencies, with three already declared in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The Electoral Commission (EC) completed the collation of results for Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, and Techiman South on January 6, with NPP candidates emerging victorious.
However, the collation process for Ablekuma North was suspended due to disputes over 20 pink sheets. Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer, the NDC’s Deputy Director of Elections and IT, expressed concerns about the EC’s actions, describing them as a violation of due process.
The NDC’s decision to challenge the results comes after the EC acted on a High Court directive to complete the collation process.
This development has significant implications for the overall outcome of the election, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.
“We don’t move on in illegalities. We are governed by rules and regulations. We have laws. The Constitution is there. The CIs are there. And whatever is stated in there, we can’t just say because we have gotten a lot of numbers, although we have 183, we should just give away the four seats.
“That is what they are telling us and that is an illegality. You are certainly a dangerous president. And that’s why we are saying that if you allow this one to stay and we don’t follow through it, then you will put an illegal person in Parliament.
“The people have voted for somebody, and then due to this illegal activity they are doing, they are going to declare illegal people. And they will be in Parliament making laws for us.
Meanwhile, they are not supposed to be there. Until the illegality is corrected, we are not going to allow it.” Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer stated.
