The Electoral Commission (EC) has defended its decision to relocate the collation and re-collation of results from some constituencies in the Eastern Region to the Tesano Police Training School in Accra.

According to the Deputy Chair of Corporate Services at the EC, Dr Bossman Asare, the move was necessary to correct irregularities that violated the procedures outlined in Constitutional Instrument (C.I) 127.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, December 14, Dr Asare stated that Regulation 43 of C.I. 127 provides clear guidelines for the collation process during parliamentary elections.

However, in some constituencies, these procedures were not followed, necessitating intervention by the Commission.
