Angry members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), on December 12, gathered in large numbers in front of the National Police Training School to express their discontent regarding the recent recollation of Nsawam-Adoagyiri results.
The picketing highlighted the growing frustration among NDC party supporters, who voiced their concerns and demanded immediate attention to the issues at hand.
Tensions escalated as the crowd called for accountability and transparency from the Police and the Electoral Commission (EC), emphasizing the need to resolve their grievances.
In an interview with Channel One News’ Fauzu Masawudu, NDC members who journeyed from Nsawam-Adoagyiri warned that they intended to spend the night in front of the police school.
They have expressed their determination to remain there rather than return to their homes despite the Electoral Commission’s directive to reconvene at 6 a.m.
This situation highlights the escalating tensions surrounding the electoral process and the NDC members’ commitment to their cause.
An NDC member stated, “We will sleep here, we will not go home, we came here in the company of some of our leaders.”
Another NDC member said, “We know our candidate won the seat, but they are trying everything to turn the results. If they do anything fishy, we will not accept the results. But if it’s transparent, we will accept the results.”
“Annoh-Dompreh has lost the seat, we voted against him, so we don’t know why he’s still fighting,” one of the NDC supporters also said.
A prior disagreement existed between the NPP and NDC regarding the recollation process.
Subsequently, an agreement was reached to delay the recollation until December 13. However, Annoh-Dompreh, the incumbent MP, maintained that the results should be collated, asserting that he would remain at the Police Training School until the recollation was completed and the results were announced.
He contended that he reached the School on December 12, at dawn, following an assurance from the EC that the results would be recollated.
To date, three seats have been confirmed in favour of the NPP, namely Akwatia, Fanteakwa North, and Suhum, following a recount.
