The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has raised concerns over what it terms illegal re-collation of parliamentary results by the Electoral Commission (EC).
According to the party’s Election Director, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Ghana’s electoral laws under C.I. 127 stipulate that once results are declared, any re-collation must be sanctioned by a court order.
In a statement issued by Dr. Boamah, he emphasized that “re-collation of parliamentary seats that have already been collated without a court order will not stand.” He further declared that any incoming NDC government would not entertain such actions, which he believes undermine the electoral process.
The statement clarified that the party’s stance does not apply to constituencies where results have not yet been collated, drawing a clear distinction between pending results and those already finalized.
Dr. Boamah urged the public to remain vigilant, stating, “Keep #EAGLEEYES on the Electoral Commission and the NPP.”
The issue comes amidst heightened political tensions as parties await final outcomes from the EC. The NDC’s strong position reflects its commitment to ensuring the integrity of the electoral process and adherence to legal provisions governing the declaration and collation of results.
