The dispute began when the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, Mike Oquaye Jnr, raised objections.According to the MP aspirant, there were discrepancies regarding the number of polling stations left to be collated before the chaos that marred the earlier process. "In the dying hours of the collation in the constituency, just before the chaos erupted, there were 88 poling stations left to be collated," the reporter said. He said Mr Oquaye argued that the NPP was not present for the collation of 85 out of these 88 polling stations, which, according to him, invalidated the subsequent declaration made in their absence. This objection was met with resistance from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which maintained that only three polling stations were outstanding.
