NDC Elections Director, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it will not accept any modified election results from the Electoral Commission (EC) in the December 7 elections.
This follows the EC’s plans to declare the results of the 2020 presidential elections 24 hours after the elections.
The Commission’s Director of Election Services, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, said the electoral management body is determined to do so.
But at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, November 25, NDC Elections Director Elvis Afririe Ankrah said declaring elections within 24 hours is virtually impossible.
He said that no one is forcing the EC to declare the election within 24 hours which, according to him, even goes against the EC’s own announcement a few months ago, which indicates that the election results would be declared on December 10. .
The former youth and sports minister added that this will create unnecessary tension in the country by asking if the EC will continue with the declaration of the elections if the results of only six electoral districts are sent to the coalition center.
The party further emphasized that the EC has not systematically consulted the parties when making crucial decisions towards the December elections.
Elvis Afriyie Ankrah also indicated that the EC has lost its credibility as it has constantly apologized privately for some wrongdoing and mistakes it has made, but denies this in public.
Regarding the security arrangements, he said that party verification has revealed that several members of the security personnel have their names omitted from the special voters list.
