The campaign team of the (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Dome Kwabenya, Elikplim Akurugu, has emphasized that nothing in the world can change the victory she has achieved in the 2024 general elections.
According to a statement signed by Benjamin Asante-Nyarko, programmes coordinator for the candidate, the seeming attempt by the Electoral Commission to declare the results of the election in favour of the (NPP) candidate, Jnr, under the guise of a re-collation is not only in contravention of the laws guiding the elections but also impossible on metrics. "The EC's declaration of the results on December 8, 2024, was valid and in accordance with CI 127, which designates the returning officer as the authority for declaring parliamentary results.
When the EC attempted to re-collate the results on December 21, it was clear that Elikplim Akurugu had won, hence their decision to halt the re-collation process.
In a press statement released on that day, December 21, 2024, the Dome Kwabenya NPP acknowledged that 7 out of the 10 electoral areas had been re-collated but remained silent about the candidate leading, knowing very well that the results were not in their favour. "The district director's independent collation also confirmed that Akurugu was the winner.
