National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has dismissed the Electoral Commission’s (EC) re-collation of parliamentary election results.
He described the exercise a "cantata" orchestrated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a Facebook post, Mr Gyamfi reassured NDC supporters of the party’s resolve to prevail in its fight for electoral justice.
"Comrades, he who laughs last, laughs best. Ignore the ‘cantata’ exercise dubbed ‘re-collation’ being carried out by the NPP-sponsored EC. We will have the last laugh after January 7. Chill!" Gyamfi wrote.
The statement follows a re-collation process by the EC, in which five out of nine disputed parliamentary seats were declared in favour of the NPP although some were originally declared for the NDC.
The NDC has in a statement rejected the results, describing the process as "illegal, manipulated, and a betrayal of Ghana’s democratic principles."
According to the NDC, the EC’s actions amount to an "assault on democracy," facilitated by alleged collusion with the police and military.
They also condemned what it called an "unholy alliance" that has led to the unlawful manipulation of results and the disenfranchisement of voters.
The NDC believes these actions represent a deliberate attempt to destabilise the nation for political gain.
