The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described the re-collation of some parliamentary election results at the Tesano Police Training School as an illegality.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the party’s National Chairman, stated at a press conference on Friday, December 13, 2024, that the recollection efforts ordered by the Electoral Commission (EC) on December 12 for the constituencies of Suhum, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Fanteakwa North, and Akwatia lacked a legal foundation.
“We in the NDC believe that what is happening at the police training school amounts to an illegality. It is not founded in any laws of our elections. Neither is it based on consensus that has been raised between the parties and the EC.
“We want to inform the nation and to give notice to any official of the commission and the police who are involved in the perpetuation of that illegality to know that there could be consequences of their actions in the future,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the party claims it has obtained an injunction against the recollection process.
The party’s action follows protests and allegations of irregularities in election results. The injunction was filed to halt the Electoral Commission’s (EC) ongoing process of resolving the contentious collation, which has sparked debate among the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
