NDC Warns Against Illegal Re-Collation Of Post Election Results

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said it will no longer condone what the party described as “deliberate, unwarranted and sustained vicious attacks” and re-collation of post election results at the Police Training School for four constituencies in the Eastern Region, calling the process “illegitimate.”

At a press conference on friday by the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has said that one of the deductions Ghanaians would easily make from the attacks from NPP is that the party has neither an agenda nor an issue to offer.

According to Asiedu Nketia,
the re-collation efforts, which was ordered by the Electoral Commission (EC) on December 12 for the constituencies of Suhum, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Fanteakwa North, and Akwatia, lacked legal foundation.

These constituencies have been embroiled in disputes regarding the initial collation of results.

“We in the NDC believe that what is happening at the police training school amounts to an illegality. It is not founded in any laws of our elections. Neither is it based on consensus that has been raised between the parties and the EC”, he stated.

Asiedu Nketia opined that the NDC has been watching carefully how the rank and file of the NPP and even sidekicks run amok, competing in a heavily subjective castigation of President elect John Mahama with incendiary utterances after it loses in the December general elections.

“We want to inform the nation and to give notice to any official of the commission and the police who are involved in the perpetuation of that illegality to know that there could be consequences of their actions in the future,” he stated.
