The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to resume the re-collation of results for outstanding constituencies from the December 7 elections.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, December 16, former NPP Chairman Peter Mac Manu emphasized the need for stakeholders to ensure a successful re-collation process.
According to the NPP, its independent collation shows it won key constituencies, including Dome-Kwabenya, Ahafo Ano North, Ahafo Ano South West, Obuasi East, Techiman South, Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Aowin, Ablekuma North, Tema Central, and Okaikwei Central.
The EC has already declared the NPP winners in Suhum, Fanteakwa North, and Akwatia following a re-collation exercise at the National Police Training School. The party now calls for similar action to resolve disputes in other constituencies and ensure the integrity of the election results.
“It is our expectation that the EC will resume the collation immediately, and we implore the National Election Security Taskforce to provide adequate security to facilitate peaceful collation in a serene environment.
“We are also calling on the NDC to caution its supporters. We are very certain that our Parliamentary candidates in those constituencies won the elections.”
The Electoral Commission (EC) temporarily halted the re-collation of parliamentary results for constituencies at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra, on Friday, December 13, following growing disagreements over the process.
The re-collation, aimed at addressing discrepancies in the results from several constituencies, was suspended to allow for further consultations with the political parties involved.
The suspension followed a court injunction obtained by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stop the re-collation of the Nsawam/Adoagyiri constituency results at the Police Training School in Tesano.
