Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party Mike Ocquaye Jnr is protesting the Dome Kwabenya parliamentary results.

He insists declaration of the results in favour of the National Democratic parliamentary candidate, Faustina Elikplim Akrugu was invalid.

Madam Elikplim was declared the winner last night after votes tallied indicated that she crossed the 50 percent mark.

This landmark win represents the first time the NDC has captured the Dome Kwabenya seat, a constituency historically regarded as an NPP fortress.

However, addressing a press conference on Tuesday, December 10, Mr Ocquaye says some ballot papers were burnt to ashes by the National Democratic Congress supporters, which denied constituents the opportunity to see the true results.

“… We won’t agree to the results. What the Electoral Commission would use to work has been burnt, and what the NPP will use to work has been burnt. What do you mean?

“If you know you have won the election, why do you burn ballot paper for government,” he asked.

He noted that after the “illegal declaration”, he was called by the region and asked to come to the collation centre to sort out the issue.

He added, “When I got there the district officer of Dome Kwabenya told me that the declaration has been suspended for a re-collation.”
