The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that approximately 60% of polling station results have been received at the 276 constituency collation centres across the country following Saturday's elections.

Briefing the media on the night of December 7, the EC's Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations, Samuel Tettey, confirmed the significant progress in the collation process.

“Reports from the regions indicate that about 60% of the polling station results have been received at the constituency coalition centres,” Mr. Tettey said.

He also shared updates on requests for recounts at polling stations, revealing that only one polling station, in the Suaman Constituency of the Western North region, had recorded a second recount for votes at the constituency collation centre. This recount will be finalized by the returning officer.

Mr. Tettey emphasized that collation centres are restricted areas accessible only to accredited individuals, with each presidential candidate allowed two agents per collation centre.

“The EC Deputy Commissioner urged political parties to avoid overcrowding at these locations to ensure an orderly process,” he added.

Commending the work of returning and collation officers, Mr. Tettey described their performance as “impressive,” encouraging them to continue upholding the highest standards of credibility and transparency.

On security, he noted that law enforcement had maintained a stable and effective presence at the collation centres. While some centres faced overcrowding, the police successfully managed the situation to ensure order.
