Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa says the declaration of Nana Akufo-Addo as President-elect will not be affected by the absence of Techiman South Constituency collated results.
According to the returning officer of the Presidential election, the collation will not make any difference to the existing percentage and vote cast by the electorate.
"A collation of all results from the Techiman South Constituency added to the percentage and vote of the second candidate, John Dramani Mahama would be a percentage of 47.873% of total vote cast.
“And Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo would obtain 50.8% of the total vote cast.
"It is on that basis that we say the outcome of the election will not change, hence our declaration of the 2020 Presidential result without that of Techiman South," she said.
Madam Jean Mensa announced the verdict using the existing Presidential results of 270 out of 275 constituencies, with Akufo-Addo gaining 51.17% and John Mahama winning 47.46%.
The returning officer moved to declare Akufo-Addo as President-elect of the Republic of Ghana.
She used the opportunity to caution Ghanaians to let "peace reign".
