NDC opposes Re-Collated results in seven contested constituencies

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has outrightly rejected the Electoral Commission’s (EC) re-collated parliamentary results for seven constituencies, describing the process as illegal and manipulated.

Following a High Court ruling on disputes in these constituencies, the EC carried out the re-collation and announced the results. The affected constituencies are Ahafo Ano North, Techiman South, Ahafo Ano South West, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Obuasi East, Okaikwei Central, and Tema Central, all of which were declared in favor of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a statement, NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey expressed the party’s strong disapproval of the process. “These results, declared under questionable and illegal circumstances, represent a blatant assault on Ghana’s democratic principles and a betrayal of the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people,” he stated.

Kwetey accused the EC, under Jean Mensa’s leadership, of undermining the country’s electoral integrity. “It is abundantly clear that the Electoral Commission has consistently chosen a path of illegality and impunity. By engaging in actions that deliberately undermine the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process, the EC has compromised its mandate and deepened public mistrust in the institution,” he remarked.

The NDC further warned those involved in the alleged irregularities. “The NDC strongly condemns these undemocratic practices and reminds all involved that electoral crimes have no expiry date and that the date of reckoning would come,” Kwetey added.

Despite their dissatisfaction, the party praised its members for maintaining calm under provocation. “We commend our rank and file for heeding our call to maintain peace and avoid confrontation with security forces deployed to intimidate and oppress innocent citizens,” the statement read.

The EC has officially declared the results for all seven constituencies, with victories going to the NPP. These constituencies include Ahafo Ano North, Techiman South, Ahafo Ano South West, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Obuasi East, Okaikwei Central, and Tema Central.
