Parliamentary results for Dome Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central constituencies are illegal due to the manner in which they were declared and cannot be upheld, that\u2019s according to the Electoral Commission (EC).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy EC Chair for Operations, Samuel Tettey made the declaration during a press briefing in Accra on Friday, December 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that the re-collation in the following constituencies, namely Dome Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central, did not follow laid down processes as enshrined in CI 127 despite police presence at the collation centres to enable the commission staff to undertake the re-collation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe centres were again besieged by party supporters who took over the process and forced out staff to declare results of their preferred candidates,\u201d Tettey stated.<\/p>\n

According to him, in declaring the results for all four constituencies, the laid down procedures were not duly followed per the regulations of CI 127 as EC officers were threatened to declare winners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore the conclusion of the commission that the collation and declarations which did not follow laid down procedures are illegal and cannot be upheld by the commission since the processes for collation and declaration as set out in CI 127 were violated and not followed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Tettey explained that three of the 12 constituencies requiring re-collation of parliamentary results have been successfully completed: Suhum, Akwatia, and Fanteakwa North.<\/p>\n

However, re-collation is yet to take place in Ahafo Ano South West, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East, and Techiman South.<\/p>\n
