The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to immediately resume the collation process for several disputed constituencies, asserting that its candidates won based on verifiable data.
The constituencies in question include Fanteakwa North, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Techiman South, Ablekuma North, Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Dome Kwabenya, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West, Akwatia, and Suhum.
This call follows the EC’s suspension of resolution processes for nine unresolved parliamentary disputes and its order for a re-collation of the results in these constituencies.
During the initial re-collation at the Tesano Police Training School, the EC declared the NPP victorious in the Suhum, Fanteakwa North, and Akwatia seats.
However, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) filed an interlocutory injunction in court, alleging that the EC’s actions are illegal.
Former NPP Chairman, Peter Mac Manu, addressed a press conference on Monday, December 16, reiterating the party’s confidence in the results. He cited data from polling station pink sheets as evidence of their candidates’ victories.
“It is therefore our expectation that the EC would immediately resume the collation exercise. We implore the National Election Security Taskforce to provide adequate security to facilitate peaceful collation in a serene environment,” the NPP stated.
The party also called on the NDC leadership to calm their supporters and ensure peace during the collation process.
“We are very certain that our parliamentary candidates in the above-mentioned constituencies won the elections. We urge the EC and all stakeholders to, in the interest of democracy and the peace of our dear country, take immediate steps to give effect to the will of the voters in these constituencies as expressed in the December polls,” the statement concluded.
