NDC Rejects Re-Collation Results, Accuses Electoral Commission of Manipulation

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has firmly rejected the results from the ongoing parliamentary re-collation process. The party claims the Electoral Commission (EC) has manipulated the process in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which has been declared winners in seven out of nine constituencies being recounted.

In a strongly worded statement signed by NDC General Secretary Hon. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the party described the results as “illegal and manipulated.” The statement continued, “These results, declared under questionable and illegal circumstances, represent a blatant assault on Ghana's democratic principles and a betrayal of the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people.”

The NDC accused the EC, under Jean Mensa’s leadership, of deliberately undermining the electoral process to serve political interests. “Jean Mensa and her team appear determined to plunge this country into chaos to satisfy the interests of their political benefactors,” the statement alleged.

The party also highlighted what it described as a disturbing partnership between the EC, police, and military. “This unholy alliance has facilitated the unlawful manipulation of election results and tarnished the credibility of these institutions, which are critical to the survival of our democracy,” the NDC claimed.

One of the NDC’s major grievances is the EC’s alleged defiance of a court order. “The EC’s deliberate disregard for a Stay of Execution order served against them is a flagrant violation of the law and a clear indication of their contempt for due process and the rule of law,” the statement said.

The party didn’t mince words about its disappointment with moral bodies like the National Peace Council, accusing them of staying silent during these critical times. “We also express our disappointment with the National Peace Council and other moral bodies whose silence in the face of these developments speaks volumes,” the statement read.

Calling on the international community, the NDC emphasized the gravity of the situation. “We urge the international community to take note of the dangerous and unlawful actions of the Electoral Commission, which pose a significant threat to Ghana’s peace, stability, and democratic progress,” the party said.

Despite their frustration, the NDC insists it will not back down. “Let it be known that the NDC will not relent in its fight to defend the will of the people and ensure justice prevails,” the statement declared.
