The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) says it is concerned about the delay in declaring the winner of the 2020 elections.
In a Statement issued today and signed by its 2020 Presidential Candidate, Brigitte Dzogbenuku, the PPP also expressed concern about the allegations of violence and possible fraud.
The Party said it will be the first to congratulate the winner of the Presidential race after the declaration of the results by the Electoral Commission (EC).
The Statement cautioned against premature congratulations saying they are “out of order” particularly at a time when the election is too close to call.
“Let us desist from this practice. It has the tendency to promote instability in our dear nation” the statement further said.
The Statement encouraged the EC to thoroughly review all allegations of criminality and electoral infractions, and to calm the tensions in the nation by announcing figures that reflect the true will of the people.
The Statement further advised security services to act in the interest of the people of Ghana, and not for or against any political party.
“We call on all Ghanaians to be vigilant and awake by protecting the dignity of our electoral system, while at the same time being mindful that all actions taken in this critical period should contribute to preserving peace and stability in Ghana” the Statement said.
