The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ablekuma North Constituency has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of attempting to manipulate the results of the 2024 parliamentary elections in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The NDC claims that the EC introduced falsified pink sheets, showing 490 votes as part of an alleged rigging scheme. The EC had earlier nullified the initial results for the constituency due to irregularities and called for a re-collation of votes.
However, the results for Ablekuma North have yet to be declared, with the EC’s returning officer stepping aside, citing an incomplete statement of polls.
At a press conference on December 26, NDC’s Director of Elections for Ablekuma North, Daniel Tornyigah, accused the EC of colluding to manipulate polling station figures and claimed returning officers were instructed to alter the results. He warned that the NDC would resist any attempt to subvert the will of the people.
“As we speak, a staff from the EC, a lady’s voice to be precise, is calling some presiding officers who aided, or better still, who helped us in the election process during the December 7 elections and requesting figures for their respective polling stations.
“Now, in some cases, this woman gave out figures for them to record for use. We want to know if this is part of the electoral process 20 days after the elections.
“We want to bring this rather shameful development and chronology of events to the attention of all well-meaning Ghanaians and the good people of Ablekuma North that at this height of clear attempt to rob the NDC off the seat, we would resist any other outcome other than the true will of the people.”
