The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly objected to the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to re-run elections at a polling station in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency, following a suspension of the parliamentary results for the third time.

The EC’s Director of Training, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, announced the rerun after chaos erupted during the tallying process on Saturday, December 27.

The rerun stems from the absence of a pink sheet for the Abokobi Women’s Development Centre 2 polling station.

Despite the EC’s announcement, the NDC insists that its candidate, Elikplim Akurugu, emerged victorious in the parliamentary election held on December 7.

Speaking at a media briefing, the NDC Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer, expressed the party’s strong opposition to the rerun.

“There was a difference of 1,154 votes, so if there’s an issue with one polling station, that station should simply be excluded. The voter population for that station is 689.

When you subtract 689 from the 1,154 margins, the results still favour Elikplim,” Dr. Tanko-Computer argued.

He also criticized the EC for what he described as errors in their calculations and mishandling of the situation.

“These people have issues with arithmetic, so we’ll help them with the math.

Elikplim Akurugu has won this election, and we will not accept their so-called rerun,” he added.

a contentious issue, with the NDC adamant that their candidate’s victory should be upheld without further delays or disputes
