Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has publicly rejected the Electoral Commission's (EC) re-collation of parliamentary election results. Gyamfi described the exercise as a "cantata" orchestrated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), reassuring NDC supporters of the party's determination to achieve electoral justice.
In a Facebook post, Gyamfi wrote, "Comrades, he who laughs last, laughs best. Ignore the 'cantata' exercise dubbed 're-collation' being carried out by the NPP-sponsored EC. We will have the last laugh after January 7. Chill!" This statement follows the EC's re-collation process, which declared five out of nine disputed parliamentary seats in favor of the NPP, despite some initially being declared for the NDC.
The NDC has vehemently rejected the results, labeling the re-collation process as "illegal, manipulated, and a betrayal of Ghana's democratic principles." The party has also accused the EC of an "assault on democracy," alleging collusion with the police and military. Furthermore, the NDC has condemned what it refers to as an "unholy alliance," which they claim has led to the unlawful manipulation of results and the disenfranchisement of voters.
The party believes these actions are part of a deliberate effort to destabilize the nation for political gain. The NDC's rejection of the re-collation results is a clear indication of the party's commitment to upholding democratic principles and ensuring that the electoral process is fair and transparent.
In the midst of this controversy, it is essential to recall the importance of electoral integrity and the need for all stakeholders to adhere to democratic principles. The outcome of this dispute will have significant implications for Ghana's democratic trajectory and the legitimacy of its electoral process.
As the situation unfolds, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. The Ghanaian people deserve a free and fair electoral process, and it is the responsibility of all stakeholders to ensure that this fundamental right is protected.
The Electoral Commission's official website provides information on the 2024 election results, including presidential and parliamentary summaries. However, the NDC's allegations of manipulation and assault on democracy raise concerns about the accuracy and reliability of these results.
Ultimately, the resolution of this dispute will depend on the ability of all parties involved to prioritize the principles of democracy and the rule of law. As Gyamfi's statement suggests, the NDC is determined to achieve electoral justice, and the outcome of this dispute will have far-reaching consequences for Ghana's democratic future.
