PPP presidential candidate, Brigitte Dzogbenuku
The presidential candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Brigitte Dzogbenuku, has asked Ghanaians for caution when congratulating anyone after the elections.
“We would like to put on record that the PPP will be the first to congratulate the declared winner of the presidential race for the EC,” he said in a statement on Wednesday, December 9.
“In this sense, premature congratulations are out of place, particularly at this time when elections are too close to call.”
Just 48 hours after the elections, the Ghana Election Commission (EC) has yet to declare the final results.
Its president, Jean Mensa, said that so far seven regional results have been certified.
But some of the candidates, to be precise John Dramani Mahama, are claiming victory.
Others like Percyval Kofi Akpaloo of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) are congratulating candidates like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“Let’s desist from this practice,” urged Ms. Dzogbenuku. “It has the tendency to promote instability in our beloved nation.”
The party encouraged the EC to thoroughly review all reports of criminality and electoral infractions “and to calm tensions in the nation by announcing figures that reflect the true will of the people.”
“We would like to advise all security services to act in the interest of the people of Ghana and not for or against any political party.
“We call on all Ghanaians to be vigilant and awake to protect the dignity of our electoral system, while at the same time being aware that all actions taken in this critical period must contribute to preserving peace and stability. in Ghana “.
