According to Jean Mensa, the figures show that adding the votes of the second-place candidate to those of the other contenders would still not surpass the votes of the leading candidate.Speaking from the EC headquarters on December 9, 2024, she assured the public that the unreceived results would not affect the declared outcome of the elections."As mentioned earlier, results from the nine constituencies are still outstanding.

The nine constituencies are Awutu Senya East, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Akwatia, Suhum, Techiman South, Dome Kwabenya, Ablekuma North, Ahafo Ano North, and Damongo. The total registered voters in all nine constituencies add up to 947,116."In the event that all the valid voters from the nine constituencies above voted for the candidate who placed second, the total number of votes he would garner would be 5,604,420, representing 46.

17% of the total valid votes, which would have been 12,138,538. The inclusion of the outstanding constituencies would have given the leading candidate 52.13%, which is still greater than the 50% plus one required to be declared a winner," she said.
