A state-owned publisher, Assembly Press has indicated its willingness to make copies of documents published with the results of the 2020 elections at the request of the Electoral Commission (EC).
According to its Managing Director, David Asante, work on the documents is complete pending permission from the Commission to execute the distribution.
Earlier today, there was a strong military and police presence at the Assemblies Press facilities ready to avoid possible demonstrations by any group.
This comment comes in the wake of protests by the NDC opposition against the election result, as stated by EC President Jean Mensah.
Some members of the NDC say they were told there were no copies available when they went to the Assembly Press offices today.
In a press release on Thursday, the Commission recommended that the public ignore the documents circulating on social media that are supposedly copies of the bulletin, adding that official documents can be obtained from the Assembly press.
“The results published in the Official Gazette of the 2020 parliamentary elections can be purchased from the Assembly Press,” the statement read.
Speaking on Newsnite, the publisher’s Managing Director said he was not aware of such developments at the time, but will make copies available Tuesday if an official statement has reached his office.
“If you are telling me that the EC has released a document that says we should go ahead and give it to the public, it is that simple. On the next business day, we will make it available on the shelves for the public to pick up.
He further explained that; “Tuesday is the next business day, we will make it available.”
David Asante also hinted that Assembly Press can also make sure copies are uploaded to its website.
