Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has issued a warning to the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, emphasising that any re-collation of election results after the declaration of the results is illegal without a court order.
He pointed out that according to C.I. 127, the only legal way to re-collate results is through the courts, making any such actions by the EC unlawful.
In his statement shared on his Facebook page on Friday, December 13,, Dr. Omane Boamah made it clear that the incoming NDC government would not tolerate any re-collation that occurs outside of the legal framework.
He stressed that re-collation of parliamentary seats that had already been collated without a court order would not be recognised.
This, he stressed, was a serious matter and must be closely monitored to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
The NDC official also drew attention to the fact that while some constituencies had already been collated, others had not been, which needed to be distinguished in any discussions about the re-collation process.
"The Electoral Commission Ghana must know that per C.I. 127 the only way to re-collate after declaration is through the courts."
"This point of law renders their re-collation illegal. And the incoming NDC government will not entertain such re-collations."
