New Patriotic Party IT Director Joe Anokye
The director of information technology for the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP), Joe Anokye, who is also the Director General of the National Communication Authority (NCA), has challenged the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to endorse his claim that he has won the majority of the seats in Parliament in Monday’s general election, with pink-sheet evidence rather than simply making pronouncements out of “emotions.”
His defiance of the largest opposition party follows the claims of his Elections Director, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, that the NDC has won 140 seats in parliament so far and was therefore also on track to win the presidential race.
However, on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, Mr. Anokye, who worked on multiple contracts at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland, demonstrated the accuracy and efficiency of the management system and infrastructure. of electoral results provided by TI of the NPP to the media. , USA As a Senior Telecommunications Consultant, including overseeing the technical team for NASA’s Global Mission Telecommunications Wide Area Network (WAN), explained that: “Today, you are only seeing the result, but if we inform you of the operations [and] investments that the party has put into this [collation infrastructure]So when we come in and give the numbers, it’s not about emotions, it’s not about: ‘OK, we won these many parliamentary seats, so a simple equation: assigned to presidential’, that’s not how it works.
“If you have the pink sheets, please show us and that’s what we’re asking for,” he demanded.
Through the electoral management system, Mr. Anokye said that the PNP can “generate the summary sheet and then collate the sheet at the constituency level, the regional summary sheet at the regional level and at the national level, so before To go to these meetings, we do have our summary sheets, so when the EC gives us a summary sheet, we have already generated one ”.

Former President John Mahama has 6,070,755; which translates into 51.45 percent for HE the President and 47.22 percent [for Mr Mahama].
“Now what this means is that the standout is 1,080 polling stations. So everyone knows the number of registered voters in all the polling stations, so you can easily do the math and see the difference and say, I agree with what the Secretary General said, that when you count all the votes, we believe that HE the President will be [the winner]”, Draft.
At the same press conference, PNP Secretary General John Boady accused the NDC of seeking “to ruin an extremely peaceful and well-conducted general election, of which Ghanaians should be proud.”
