The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has rejected re-collated parliamentary election results declared by the Electoral Commission (EC) and has accused the Commission of manipulation.
The EC on Saturday, December 21, 2024, declared 7 constituencies out of nine outstanding parliamentary seats in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
However, the NDC in a statement described the process as a “blatant assault on Ghana’s democratic principles”.
“These results declared under questionable and illegal circumstances, represent a blatant assault on Ghana’s democratic principles and a betrayal of the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people…It is abundantly clear that the Electoral Commission, under the leadership of Jean Mensah, has consistently chosen a path of illegality and impunity…the NDC strongly condemns these undemocratic practices and reminds all involved that the electoral crimes have no expiry date and that the date of reckoning would come” portions of the statement read.
A statement signed by the NDC General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, accused the Electoral Commission (EC), led by Jean Adukwei Mensa, of actions that undermine the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process.
“The NDC will continue to mobilize its supporters and rally Ghanaians to resist any attempt to overturn the people’s mandate. Together, we will protect the principles of democracy and secure a brighter future for our nation,” the statement added.
