The NPP will after the New Year holiday consider filing more suits to challenge some results of the parliamentary elections. Chairman of the party Jake Obestebi lamptey, dropped the hint at a press briefing on Friday in Accra.
This will follow suit number J1/6/13 filed same day, at the Supreme Court by Nana Akufu Addo, Dr. Bawumia and Jake Obestebi lamptey, of the NPP, challenging the validity of the results of the presidential election as declared by the Electoral Commission, through its Chairman, on December 9th, 2012.
Respondents in the lawsuit number J1/6/13, filed on Friday 28th December 2012, are John Dramani Mahama, President elect of the Republic of Ghana and the Electoral Commission whose conduct is the subject of complaint.
The NPP's running mate during the election Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia noted that in court, the plaintiffs intend to prove among other things that 620,443 over voting occurred. He also said, 456,933 people voted without verification while 208,523 polling station results were not signed by EC presiding officers.
The party, according to Dr. Bawumia, seeks to prove that 50,278 polling centers had the same serial number and in 3,841 polling centers results written in words did not match the figures on the pink sheet.
