Special Aide to former President and now President-elect John Mahama, has voiced her disapproval of the Electoral Commission’s (EC) re-declaration of parliamentary results for certain constituencies.

Joyce Bawah Mogtari described the move as unacceptable and an affront to Ghana’s “nascent democracy.”

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she expressed concern over the declaration of new parliamentary candidates for Obuasi East and Nsawam Adoagyiri following the re-collation of results.

”What is happening today, what has happened in Obuasi East, Nsawam Adoagyire, Tema Central etc is an insult/ affront to our nascent democracy, unbelievable, unprecedented and shameful.

“In Obuasi East, the re-collation led to the declaration of a new PC, Nsawam A, same thing and let's see what happens next.”

Her comments came after the EC, on Saturday, December 21, re-collated and declared results for nine constituencies that had been disputed since the December 7 polls.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has also rejected the EC’s actions, calling the re-declaration of results “illegal and manipulated.

According to the party, the EC’s actions undermine Ghana’s democratic principles.

In a statement, the NDC accused EC Chairperson Jean Mensa of engaging in “illegality and impunity,” claiming that her decisions have deliberately compromised the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process.

”It is abundantly clear that the Electoral Commission, under the leadership of Jean Mensah, has consistently chosen a path of illegality and impunity.

“By engaging in actions that deliberately undermine the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process, the EC has compromised its mandate and deepened public mistrust in the institution.”
