The Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Edward Omane Boamah, has firmly stated that there will be no re-collation of parliamentary results in some constituencies as announced by the Electoral Commission.

Dr Omane Boamah’s comments were made in a Facebook post on Thursday, December 19, where he cautioned the EC against what he described as an attempt to undermine the will of the people.

This development comes after a press conference organized by the EC earlier on Thursday, during which the Commission’s chairperson, Jean Mensa, addressed concerns over the declaration of parliamentary results in nine constituencies.

According to Ms Mensa, some of these declarations were made without the requisite pink sheets from all polling stations. 

She further claimed that some electoral officers had been coerced or threatened into announcing the results prematurely. She declared as illegal the declaration of results in Okaikwei Central and Ablekuma North which had been declared in favour of NDC candidates.

Reacting to these claims, Dr Omane Boamah accused the EC of acting under instructions from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to reduce the NDC’s two-thirds majority in the upcoming 9th Parliament. 

He described the alleged attempt as undemocratic and warned that the NDC would not tolerate any efforts to tamper with the declared results. 

His post emphasized that the party would resist any re-collation moves by the EC.

“Useless press conference by Jean Mensa. She has obviously been instructed by NPP to dilute the 2/3 majority of NDC. But she will fail!”

“She must not tempt us beyond our endurance! We mean business!”

“At all constituencies where the declaration was not done, the Electoral Commission Ghana  must have pinksheets that show that NDC won.”

“Instead of agreeing with our demand for an emergency IPAC meeting, she has decided to hide to avoid critical questions being asked at the IPAC meeting,” he posted.
