The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Director,
Nana Akomea, has told Joy News the party will release figures from
over 20 constituencies where there were major discrepancies between
results from the polling stations and those declared at the
collation centres.
He said the party, so far, has enough evidence to prove there
was voter fraud in at least 20 constituencies, adding that the
results were tampered with before reaching the Electoral Commission
(EC).
The NPP has since the projection and declaration of the
election results insisted the polls were rigged in favour of
President John Mahama. Its flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo
has refused to concede defeat.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Election Headquarters Monday, Mr. Akomea
maintained that differences between results recorded at polling
stations and that declared by the EC will shock Ghanaians and give
the NPP a strong case in contesting the outcome of the
elections.
He said that the party will be taking its complaints to a
lower court, saying the public can expect the NPP to release a more
definitive statement on the alleged fraud later today,
Monday.
The country will be able to move forward together, he
explained, once the evidence is on the table and the concerns are
addressed to everyone’s satisfaction.
Mr. Akomea also thanked the party’s supporters for their
votes, commended the Ghanaian people for their good conduct during
the elections, and said that this election’s results suggest a
country split down the middle in terms of political
preferences.
