EC suspends re-collation for Dome Kwabenya, Ablekuma North over following missing documentsPhoebe Martekie Doku, Today at 10:26 AM

The Electoral Commission (EC) has suspended the re-collation process for the Dome Kwabenya and Ablekuma North constituencies due to missing critical election documents.

The pause follows discrepancies discovered in the results of the December 7 elections. In Ablekuma North, the process was halted after the returning officer failed to provide the required 62 pink sheets.

Without these, it was impossible to verify the election results. Similarly, in Dome Kwabenya, missing hard copies of pink sheets from three polling stations caused delays.

While soft copies were submitted, they could not be confirmed, and both the NPP and NDC were unable to provide the hard copies.

The NPP attributed the missing documents to disruptions during the initial collation process, citing violent incidents and the destruction of election materials.

These constituencies were part of nine selected for re-collation following a court order due to alleged electoral irregularities. So far, the EC has declared results for seven constituencies, all favoring the NPP.

EC’s Director of Electoral Services, Benjamin Bannor Bio, reassured the public of the Commission's commitment to transparency and confirmed that investigations are ongoing.

A final decision on the re-collation for these two constituencies will be announced after further review.
