The Electoral Commission (EC) has called on Ghanaians to support its efforts in conducting credible and transparent elections amidst ongoing disputes over the re-collation and declaration of some parliamentary results.
Among the constituencies in question are Nsawam Adoagyiri, Dome Kwabenya, Ablekuma North, and Okaikwei Central.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Friday, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa emphasized the critical role of public cooperation in safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.
She urged citizens to contribute to maintaining peace and order during elections, highlighting that credible elections are a shared responsibility.
“We would like to finally call on the citizens of Ghana to support us in our bid to carry out our mandate. May God bless all of you and may God bless our homeland Ghana and make her great and strong,” she said.
Mensa also reaffirmed the EC’s stance that the parliamentary results for Dome Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, and Ablekuma North remain invalid.
She explained that the declarations in these constituencies were made under duress, with threats to electoral staff and incidents of ballot paper destruction.
The EC has yet to announce its next steps in addressing the unresolved disputes in these constituencies.
