NDC WARNS EC OVER PARLIAMENTARY RESULTS RE-COLLATION

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly criticized the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana over its decision to re-collate parliamentary election results in disputed constituencies. According to Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the NDC’s Director of Elections and IT, this move undermines the democratic will of the people and threatens the stability of the electoral process. The constituencies under contention include Ablekuma North and Okaikwei Central, where NDC candidates Awurabena Aubynn and Baba Sadiq were declared winners after hours of disputes. EC Chairperson Jean Mensa claimed these declarations were made without the necessary pink sheets and suggested that some officers had been coerced into announcing results prematurely. In response, Dr. Boamah accused the EC of acting under instructions from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to weaken the NDC’s majority in Parliament.

In a Facebook post, Dr. Boamah labeled the EC’s actions as partisan and vowed that the NDC would resist any attempts to tamper with the election outcomes. He criticized Jean Mensa’s refusal to hold an emergency Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting to address these concerns, accusing her of avoiding accountability. The NDC maintains that the election results were validly declared and backed by the required pink sheets at the polling stations. Dr. Boamah warned the EC not to "tempt them beyond their endurance," signaling the party's readiness to defend its mandate. The NDC views the re-collation process as a deliberate ploy to dilute its projected two-thirds majority in Parliament and has called on its supporters to remain vigilant in protecting the integrity of the election results.

This unfolding dispute has heightened political tensions as Ghana awaits the final resolution of the contested constituencies. The NDC has reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles while urging the EC to uphold transparency and fairness in the electoral process. Meanwhile, civil society groups and election observers have called for calm and dialogue to prevent the situation from escalating. The coming days will be crucial in determining how these disagreements are resolved and whether they will impact the composition of Ghana’s 9th Parliament. For now, the NDC remains firm in its stance, declaring that it "means business" and will not relent in safeguarding the choice of the electorate.
