The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released all withheld results from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), bringing an end to weeks of uncertainty for affected candidates.

The Council had previously held back over 10,000 results due to suspected malpractices but had assured the public that they would be made available by 28th February.

This decision follows a legal battle and mounting pressure from the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), which had threatened nationwide protests if the results remained undisclosed.

The court’s ruling compelled WAEC to comply, ensuring that all affected candidates received their results as promised.

Speaking in an interview with Citi FM, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, confirmed that there are no longer any outstanding results, including those previously entangled in legal proceedings.

He reassured candidates that the Council had honoured its commitment to transparency and fairness.

“As we promised, we kept to our word. By the close of 28th February, we had uploaded all the results of candidates whose results had been withheld. The court had ordered us to release those results, and we have duly complied. So as far as those examinations are concerned, there are no outstanding results,” he stated.

Mr Kapi further noted that while the results were released on a Friday, WAEC anticipated that candidates would begin reaching out in the new week with queries or complaints.

However, he maintained that the published results accurately reflected the performance of candidates in the examination.
