Tensions have escalated in Tema Central as the Electoral Commission (EC) announced the postponement of results collation to Tuesday, December 10, citing safety concerns.
The exercise will now take place at 10 a.m. under heavy security at the regional Police headquarters.
The decision follows heated disagreements between NDC candidate Ebi Bright and her NPP counterpart, Charles Forson, over the electoral process.
During the initial counting, Ebi Bright was declared the provisional winner, sparking celebrations among her supporters.
However, the NPP has since called for a recount, a move Ebi Bright has firmly opposed.
Addressing her party members, Ebi Bright expressed confidence in the transparency of the initial process and issued a stern warning to EC officials.
“I will not allow anyone to tamper with the will of the people. Any attempt to rig this election will be met with fierce resistance,” she declared.
The postponement has left the constituency on edge, with security forces working to maintain order.
Both candidates have urged their supporters to remain calm as they await the final collation of results.
