The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ablekuma North Constituency has leveled allegations against the Electoral Commission (EC), accusing it of attempting to influence the outcome of the 2024 parliamentary elections to benefit the New Patriotic Party (NPP).The NDC alleges that the EC introduced manipulated pink sheets showing 490 votes, as part of an alleged plot to distort the election results.

Previously, the EC had invalidated the initial results from the constituency, citing irregularities, and ordered a re-collation of votes. However, the results for Ablekuma North remain unannounced, after the EC’s returning officer for the area stepped down, claiming the statement of polls was incomplete.

During a press conference on Thursday, December 26, Daniel Tornyigah, the NDC’s Director of Elections for Ablekuma North, accused the EC of tampering with the election process, claiming returning officers were instructed to alter results. He strongly asserted that the NDC would not tolerate any efforts to undermine the will of the voters and would fiercely resist such actions.

“As we speak, a staff from the EC, a lady’s voice to be precise, is calling some presiding officers who aided, or better still, who helped us in the election process during the December 7 elections and requesting figures for their respective polling stations.“Now, in some cases, this woman gave out figures for them to record for use. We want to know if this is part of the electoral process 20 days after the elections.

“We want to bring this rather shameful development and chronology of events to the attention of all well-meaning Ghanaians and the good people of Ablekuma North that at this height of clear attempt to rob the NDC off the seat, we would resist any other outcome other than the true will of the people.”
