The National Women Organizer of the Opposition party, the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Hanna Bissiw said, the sovereign will of the people have been undermined by the Electoral Commission of Ghana by declaring Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo as the winner of the just-ended December presidential and parliamentary polls.
In her candid opinion, Mr. John Dramani of the NDC won the elections loud and clear but the EC eluded him the victory that was due him.
According to Hanna Bissiw, the election results were manipulated to favour the incumbent, Akuffo Addo and his NPP government.
She made this revelation when she led some women in the Kumasi Metropolis for the Peaceful Demonstration against tye electoral Commission for her false verdict of the 2020 elections.
She said;
We are asking that the right additions and subtractions be made.
She added that;
“We are demanding that the real representation of what we voted for is declared so that peace will prevail in this country .You cannot talk about peace if there is no justice.”
The National Democratic Congress has rejected the results declared by the Electoral Commission claiming the results were ‘cooked’ to favour the NPP government.
Former President Mahama had said in his earlier speeches that;
“It is now obvious to many objective minds that the Commission and its chairperson have been used to manipulate results from the various constituencies and in that process seek to subvert the sovereign will of the Ghana people.”
He added that;
“Since the inception of the Fourth Republic, final election results have always been declared within a 72hour period to allow for thorough and diligence collation.
“Surprisingly, this Electoral Commission chairperson announced quite suspiciously for reasons known to her a hurried 24hour deadline which as we all know could not and would not be met .
He further noted that;
“The Chairperson of the EC in less than 24 hours after her declaration has admitted that she made unacceptable errors which go to the heart of the entire electoral process and cast deep doubt on the credibility of the announced outcome.”
