The National Democratic Congress (NDC) claims it has taken a decisive lead in the elections hours after the polls closed yesterday (December 7).
This is because the Party has been able to snatch more than 35 Parliamentary seats from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Director of Elections of the NDC, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah at a media briefing explained that the Party’s decisive lead in the Parliamentary election will extend to the Presidential election as well.
He however cautioned supporters not to be in a haste to celebrate because the results are only provisional, and urged party agents to be vigilant at the collation centers.
Meanwhile, the NPP has debunked NDC’s claim.
At a news conference, General Secretary of the Party, John Boadu, said the NDC has not learnt any lessons from 2016 when they claimed early victory but lost in the end.
He said the NPP is making gains and will maintain its majority status in parliament while widening the gap in the Presidential race.
