The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has claimed to have won some 12 parliamentary constituencies that are currently in dispute.
The party says it won in Ablekuma North, Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Dome Kwabenya, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West, Akwatia, Suhum, Fanteakwa North, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and Techiman South.
Addressing a press conference, Peter Mac Manu voiced concerns over the collation and declaration of parliamentary election results in certain constituencies that have faced delays and related controversies.
He urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to resume the collation process without delay to ensure that the democratic will of voters is upheld.
“We implore the National Election Security Taskforce to provide adequate security to facilitate peaceful collation under a serene environment. We also urge the NDC leadership to rein in their supporters to ensure the process concludes without further disturbances,” he said.
He told the media that the party’s claim was based on data from polling station results, specifically the official pink sheets submitted following the polls.
“We are very certain that our parliamentary candidates in the above-mentioned constituencies won the elections. This conclusion is based on verifiable data from the pink sheets, as we have consistently demonstrated,” he added.
“In the interest of democracy and the peace of our dear country, we urge the EC and all stakeholders to take immediate steps to give effect to the will of voters as expressed in the December polls,” the party said.
He also slammed the NDC and advised the party to accept defeat in the 12 constituencies.
“We call on the NDC leadership to demonstrate responsible leadership by calling their supporters to order. This is a crucial time for our nation, and no action should undermine our democratic processes,” he said.
