Controversies still linger around the results of the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections. The leadership and sympathizers of the National Democratic Congress have disapproved of the results of the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency as the electoral Commission Declares the New Patriotic Party’s George Duker as the member of Parliament-elect.
According to the National Democratic Congress, the results were fabricated by the Electoral Commission. The electoral commission announced that NPP’s George Duker polled 31,946 of total valid votes cast while NDC’s John Justice Abban polled a total vote of 31,845. This indicates that, Hon. Duker won with a 101 voted difference.
The NDC says the Electoral Commission fabricated the results hence their refusal to sign the pink sheet.
Addressing the press on Thursday, the Tarkwa-Nsuaem NDC Communication Officer, Daniel Nketsiah said apart from George Mireku Duker, none of the other candidates signed the pink sheet as all attempts by the NDC and the other candidates to reject the collated figures were met with police and military threats which they described as a very unfortunate thing.
He said,
“I told them that we won’t accept what was going on. We were forced to sit down. We were told to accept any results declared. More military enforcement was brought to the collation centre. Our candidate was also forced to sign the pink sheet,”
He said the NDC party refused to endorse the pink sheet because they believe there were over-voting and other irregularities in a number of polling stations in the constituency which was orchestrated by the NDC to win the seat.
