According to Dr. Judge Moses Aheto, there was no way that Techiman South’s numbers, which are 128,018, would not affect the final election results.

Speaking about The Big Issues on Citi TV, he said that “the EC made it clear that they have not added the Techiman South figures which are 128,018 and said that even if they give all of that to Mahama there was no way he would have won. But if the percentage calculation is made, Nana Addo would have obtained 49.265% while Mahama would have obtained 46.76% of the valid votes cast. This is a direct second round. This is where the problem lies. One of the strong but very irresponsible statements they made was that the [exclusion] does not change the percentage indicated for each candidate and the statement made by the president. Whatever happens, once the denominator is changed, the same percentages cannot be obtained, ”he argued.

He explained that the difference of 515,524 between the votes for Mr. Akufo-Addo from the New Patriotic Party (PNP) and Mr. Dramani Mahama from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), however, cannot be overridden by the Techiman South results. , which has a total of 128,018 registered voters for which she and the commission decided to declare Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo the winner of the election.
