The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has questioned the legitimacy of the ongoing re-collation of election results for four constituencies in the Eastern Region.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, December 13, Mr. Asiedu Nketiah described the process, which is taking place at the Police Training School in Koforidua, as unlawful and lacking legal grounds. The Electoral Commission (EC) initiated the re-collation on December 12 for Suhum, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Fanteakwa North, and Akwatia constituencies. These areas have faced disputes over their initial election results.
“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,” he said.
The NDC Chairman further warned that officials from the Electoral Commission and the police involved in the process could face consequences in the future.
This development adds to ongoing tensions surrounding the disputed election results in the Eastern Region.
