The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Eastern Region has rejected the Electoral Commission's (EC) position on four controversial parliamentary seats, claiming that the EC is misrepresenting the facts and backtracking on the Constitutional Instrument that governs elections.
In a press release issued on Friday, December 20, 2024, Regional Secretary Baba Jamal Konney criticized the EC's stance, particularly pointing out contradictions in their actions since the 2020 elections.
He questioned whether Jean Mensa, the EC Chairperson, has the authority to determine whether results were declared under duress, asking, "Does it lie in her preview to determine whether the declaration of results was under duress or otherwise?
Is Jean Mensa now a court of competent jurisdiction?" Baba Jamal further provided clarity on the four contested seats in the region: Fanteakwa North: The Returning Officer declared Hon.
