Ghana’s Electoral Commission says the delay in declaring results at the collation centres are because of the infiltration of party members at the collation centres.
Addressing the Press on December 8, 2024, the EC represented by Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations at the EC, Samuel Tetteh, called on the two leading political parties to withdraw their followers from the collation centres.
“We call on political parties to withdraw their supporters with immediate effect, and we call on security agencies to act.
“There is therefore no need for party supporters to be at collation centers. This infiltration of supporters into the collation centres is delaying the collation process.
“We therefore entreat party supporters who have thronged the collation centres to leave for returning officers to declare the results,” Samuel Tettey noted.
Meanwhile, sorting and counting have ended across the country.
