NDC rejects “manipulated” parliamentary election results

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vehemently rejected the re-collated parliamentary election results declared by the Electoral Commission (EC) for several constituencies.

The NDC described the results in a statement as “illegal” and “manipulated,” claiming they were declared under “questionable and illegal circumstances”.

According to the NDC, the EC’s actions represent a “blatant assault on Ghana’s democratic principles and a betrayal of the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people.”

The party also accused the EC of consistently choosing a path of “illegality and impunity,” deliberately undermining the integrity of Ghana’s electoral process.

The NDC warned that “electoral crimes have no expiry date and that the date of reckoning would come.”

The party also expressed disappointment with the National Peace Council and other “moral” bodies for their silence on the matter.

Meanwhile, the NDC has commended its supporters for maintaining peace and avoiding confrontation with security forces.

The party has also called on the international community to take note of the EC’s actions, which it believes pose a significant threat to Ghana’s peace, stability, and democratic progress.

In a strongly worded statement, the NDC cautioned the government and the EC to desist from further attempts to undermine Ghana’s democracy.

“We will continue to mobilize our supporters and rally Ghanaians to resist any attempt to overturn the people’s mandate,” the party said.
