New Patriotic Party (PNP) secretary general John Boadu says the party will go to court for electoral embezzlement after the Electoral Commission (EC) has officially declared the 2020 general elections.
According to him, an election official voted during the special vote on Tuesday, December 1, and again voted in the main election on Monday, December 7.
He noted that the conduct of the election official amounted to a multiple vote and would question the outcome of that particular polling station in court.
Although Boadu did not reveal the exact polling station where the incident occurred, he made the disclosure to reporters in Accra on Wednesday.
He indicated that although the party leadership had agreed to sign the parliamentary declaration form for that particular constituency, the party will go to court to obtain redress.
Boadu said that based on the Party’s tabulation of the general elections, the PNP had won 137 parliamentary seats, yet four or five parliamentary results were in dispute and he believed that the PNP would win those seats to form a majority in Parliament.
“We are a Peace Party and we did not win the elections just to win, but we won to develop this country,” added Boadu.
Ghana went to the polls on December 7, 2020 to elect a president and 275 MPs to run the country’s affairs for the next four years.
