Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has lambasted the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) for its handling of parliamentary election results.
The EC had earlier declared the results for Dome-Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Tema Central as invalid due to procedural irregularities.
On December 13, Samuel Tettey, the Deputy EC Chair for Operations, explained in a press briefing that the results could not be upheld because they did not comply with the procedures outlined in CI 127, despite police presence at the collation centres to oversee the re-collation process.
However, speaking to GHOne TV ahead of the parliamentary session on December 16, Ablakwa argued that the EC's subsequent decision to re-collate results was unlawful.
