The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has rejected the Electoral Commission’s (EC) re-collation of parliamentary election results, labeling the exercise as a “cantata” orchestrated by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a Facebook post, Mr. Gyamfi reassured NDC supporters of the party’s determination to achieve electoral justice. “Comrades, he who laughs last, laughs best.
Ignore the ‘cantata’ exercise dubbed ‘re-collation’ being carried out by the NPP-sponsored EC. We will have the last laugh after January 7. Chill!” he wrote.
This statement follows the EC’s re-collation process, in which five out of nine disputed parliamentary seats were declared in favor of the NPP, although some of these had originally been declared for the NDC.
The NDC has rejected the results, describing the re-collation process as “illegal, manipulated, and a betrayal of Ghana’s democratic principles.”
The party further accused the EC of an “assault on democracy,” alleging collusion with the police and military.
Additionally, the NDC condemned what it referred to as an “unholy alliance,” which they claim has led to the unlawful manipulation of results and the disenfranchisement of voters.
The party believes these actions are part of a deliberate effort to destabilize the nation for political gain.
