The High Court on Saturday, January 4th 2025, has directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to collate and declare results from 31 outstanding polling stations in the Okaikwei Central constituency.

The ruling follows an application by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which argued that the initial declaration was incomplete and did not account for all polling stations.

Background to the Okaikwei Central dispute The Okaikwei Central constituency has 141 polling stations, but the EC only collated results from 110 polling stations before making a declaration.

Security officers providing protection at the collation centre advised that the results be declared to prevent potential unrest from the massed-up supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
