At a press conference in Accra on Monday, (December 16, 2024), the NPP addressed concerns over the collation and declaration of results in the parliamentary election in certain constituencies that have faced delays and related controversies.

Action from EC

Addressing the press, a former National Chairman of the NPP, Peter Mac Manu, called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to resume the collation process without delay to ensure that the democratic will of voters was upheld.

 

According to him, the EC’s intervention is critical in settling any lingering uncertainties and fostering national stability.

"We implore the National Election Security Taskforce to provide adequate security to facilitate peaceful collation under a serene environment. We also urge the NDC leadership to rein in their supporters to ensure the process concludes without further disturbances," he said.

Verifiable data

The NPP indicated that the assertions of victory in the listed constituencies were based on data from polling station results, particularly the official pink sheets submitted after the polls.

"We are very certain that our parliamentary candidates in the above-mentioned constituencies won the elections. This conclusion is based on verifiable data from the pink sheets, as we have consistently demonstrated," he stated.

National interest and peace

Mr Mac Manu further appealed to all stakeholders, including the EC, political parties and security agencies, to act decisively in the interest of democracy and national peace. 

He emphasised the importance of respecting the will of voters. "In the interest of democracy and the peace of our dear country, we urge the EC and all stakeholders to take immediate steps to give effect to the will of voters as expressed in the December polls," the party said.

NDC’s alleged interference

He also criticised the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its alleged interference in the collation process. He expressed concerns about the actions of some NDC supporters, which he claimed had contributed to the delays in declaring results in these constituencies.

"We call on the NDC leadership to demonstrate responsible leadership by calling their supporters to order. This is a crucial time for our nation, and no action should undermine our democratic processes," he reiterated.
