The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced its intent to challenge the results of four outstanding constituencies, three of which have been declared in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The Electoral Commission (EC), acting on a High Court directive, completed the collation of results for Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, and Techiman South on Sunday, January 6, with the NPP candidates emerging victorious.

However, collation for Ablekuma North was suspended due to disputes over 20 pink sheets.

Speaking to Citi News, Dr Rashid Tanko-Computer, the NDC’s Deputy Director of Elections and IT, described the EC’s actions as a violation of due process.

“We don’t move on in illegalities. We are governed by rules and regulations. We have laws. The Constitution is there. The CIs are there. And whatever is stated in there, we can’t just say because we have gotten a lot of numbers, although we have 183, we should just give away the four seats.

“That is what they are telling us and that is an illegality. You are certainly a dangerous president. And that’s why we are saying that if you allow this one to stay and we don’t follow through it, then you will put an illegal person in Parliament.

“The people have voted for somebody, and then due to this illegal activity they are doing, they are going to declare illegal people. And they will be in Parliament making laws for us. Meanwhile, they are not supposed to be there. Until the illegality is corrected, we are not going to allow it.”
