Ebi Bright, the National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for Tema Central, has filed a petition at the High Court challenging the election of Charles Forson as a Member of Parliament.
According to the candidate and actress, the results of her contender of the New Patriotic Party, Charles Forson, who was declared the winner of the election, are not a true reflection of the polls.
She claimed in her petition that the results included three polling station results fraught with irregularities.
She posits on her petition that the original pink sheets for the three polling stations in the custody of the Electoral Commission had the names and signatures of the presiding officers while the duplicates given to the NDC did not have the same.
According to the petition, the total number of votes obtained by the candidates on the three original pink sheets does not tally with the total valid votes or total votes.
She is therefore praying the court to invalidate the results from the three polling stations and overturn the declaration of Charles Forson as a Member of Parliament.
Ebi Bright is also asking the court to refer to earlier results that excluded the three disputed polling stations that saw her being declared as a member of parliament.
In the alternative, she wants the court to order a rerun in the three polling stations.
