The Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, has refuted claims that the party is apprehensive about a rerun of elections in the Dome Kwabenya constituency.
His remarks were in response to comments by Samuel Atta Akyea, MP for Abuakwa South, who questioned why the NDC, which claims victory, appears hesitant about a potential rerun.
The controversy stems from the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to rerun elections at the Abokobi Women’s Development Centre within the Dome Kwabenya constituency. The NDC has rejected this directive.
Although NDC candidate Faustina Elikplim Akurugu was initially declared the winner, the EC later argued that the pink sheets from the constituency failed to meet electoral standards, necessitating the rerun.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle, Edudzi Tameklo criticised the EC’s decision, suggesting that the rerun could unjustly tilt the final results in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
