The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has voiced concerns over the Electoral Commission’s (EC) delay in announcing the results of Saturday’s general elections.
National Chairman of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, addressing a press conference, said the delay in announcing the results is fuelling tension among the youth.
The situation he posited is creating pockets of violence in parts of the country.
He has therefore asked the EC to expedite the announcement of the results to avert further escalation.
He wondered why the EC has delayed when the two major political parties have collated the results.
He added that the prolonged delay is creating a dangerous vacuum, leaving room for anxiety, misinformation, and unrest among the populace.
“The two key players [NPP and NDC] have produced our results, yet the EC is dragging its feet to announce the results. We made known in our previous update that the only way to ensure peace was for the EC to announce the results, but we are still waiting and our agents are still waiting across the country, and because of the delay, the youth of this country have started reacting, and that is a dangerous sign.”
