The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nii Ashie Moore, has declared that the party has secured victory in 31 out of the 34 constituencies in the region.
This assertion follows a statement by the Electoral Commission (EC), which announced that it would not accept the collated results from constituencies such as Ablekuma North, Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, and Dome-Kwabenya due to irregularities.
The EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, during a press briefing on December 19, detailed issues in two of the affected constituencies:
- Okaikwei Central: Results from 31 polling stations were excluded.
- Ablekuma North: Results from 62 polling stations were not collated.
Nii Ashie Moore, however, disputed these claims, urging that any grievances regarding the results should be resolved through the courts.
Speaking after an event honouring the party’s supporters, he expressed confidence that the 31 NDC Members of Parliament (MPs) in the region would be sworn in on January 6, 2025.
“As a Regional chairman, I visited every collation center in the constituencies mentioned. Results were announced, certified, and polling agents from all political parties were present. I personally witnessed the declarations and even raised the hands of the declared winners,” he stated.
He further emphasized, “By the grace of God, on January 6 at midnight, the 31 parliamentary candidates who won will be sworn in as Members of Parliament. We will employ all legitimate means to ensure this happens.”
Mr. Ashie Moore also commended party members for their dedication, attributing the region’s success to their efforts in securing both John Dramani Mahama’s overwhelming victory and the 31 parliamentary seats.
He assured that their contributions would not go unnoticed, promising due recognition for their hard work.
