The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rejected the results of some parliamentary seats, alleging that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has “forcefully declared themselves winners” in certain constituencies.
In a statement signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP claimed that the NDC’s actions were “brutish and undemocratic” and that the party would not “kowtow” to such behavior.
The statement specifically mentioned 13 constituencies, including Ablekuma North, Dome-Kwabenya, and Tema Central, where the NPP claimed to have won but the NDC had been declared the winner.
“The Party, accordingly, calls on the Electoral Commission to immediately take appropriate steps to overturn the illegal declarations made under threats and duress in favour of the NDC’s parliamentary candidates in Ablekuma North, Dome-Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West, Akwatia, Suhum, Fanteakwa North, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Techiman South and Aowin constituencies,” the NPP noted.
“We are so certain that we won the parliamentary seats in the aforementioned constituencies,” the statement read.
“We urge the EC to take the appropriate steps to give effect to the will of the people in these constituencies as expressed on December 7, 2024.”
The NPP also called on various stakeholders, including the National Peace Council, the National House of Chiefs, and the Ghana Bar Association, to condemn the NDC’s alleged “lawlessness” and “undemocratic attempts to reverse our democratic gains.”
