The Electoral Commission (EC) has clarified that the re-collation of results at the Tesano Police Depot is not illegal and falls within its mandate.
This statement was made by Samuel Tettey, Deputy EC Chair for Operations, in response to allegations that the choice of the Tesano Police Depot as the venue for the re-collation was unlawful, at a press conference in Accra on Friday, December 13, 2024. "It is instructive to note that as a result of the disruptions that took place during the re-collation and to ensure the safety and security of our staff and the collation and declaration processes, the commission agreed with the Ghana Police Service to relocate the collation to the Tesano Police Depot.
The commission duly informed the political party leadership to provide the names of two agents as required by law," Tettey stated.
He said the re-collation at the police depot was observed by party agents for four constituencies: Fanteakwa North, Suhum, Akwatia, and Nsawam Adoagyiri.
