Communications Team member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Ekua Amoako has questioned the NDC’s persistent attacks on the Electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensa.
In a statement lamenting the ongoing criticism of Jean Mensa, Dr. Amoako expressed concern over the NDC’s continuous accusations that the Electoral Commission is attempting to rig the elections.
“We made efforts to ensure peaceful elections. Yet, every day, the NDC accuses the EC of rigging. They will continue to say this, but they managed to win with a significant margin, so where is the rigging?
The focus on Jean Mensa is so intense that at times, I feel for her. What is her crime? Her only crime is being the EC. She is simply trying to do the right thing,” Dr. Amoako stated.
Dr. Amoako also defended the re-coalition of the seven disputed constituencies, asserting that it was the right course of action. She claimed that some polling agents were pressured to declare results in favour of the NDC.
Following a High Court ruling regarding the seven contested constituencies, the Electoral Commission proceeded with the re-collation and subsequent declaration of the results.
The constituencies in question—Ahafo Ano North, Techiman South, Ahafo Ano South West, Nsawam Adoagyiri, Obuasi East, Okaikwei Central, and Tema Central—were all declared for the NPP after the re-collation process.
In a statement released shortly after the re-collation, the NDC’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, condemned the process, describing it as unlawful and manipulated, and declared that the NDC rejected the results.
