Lydia Seyram Alhassan<\/strong><\/p>\n

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is yet to come to terms with their loss in the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election as the party has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to annul the results of the exercise.<\/p>\n

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP)
\ncandidate, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, won the by-election held on January 31, 2019.<\/p>\n

The process was characterised by some
\nviolent scenes at the La-Bawaleshie JHS polling station where some NDC
\nsupporters were allegedly shot, with the party blaming the NPP for being behind
\nthe shootings.<\/p>\n

That notwithstanding, voting still went
\nahead and the NPP candidate retain the seat for the party which was previously
\noccupied by the late NPP stalwart \u2013 Emmanuel Kyeremanteng Agyarko.<\/p>\n

Although the NDC claimed it had
\nwithdrawn from the exercise, there are documents which proved that the party
\ndid not withdraw from the exercise and its candidate Delali Kwasi Brempong only
\nmanaged 5,341 of the total 17,589 votes representing 30.53 per cent.<\/p>\n

Barely four days after the election the
\nNDC, which had earlier claimed it had withdrawn from the race, is calling on
\nthe EC to annul the results of the exercise saying it was conducted under
\nquestionable circumstances.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by the party
\nyesterday, it said the by-election was conducted in a \u201cwarlike environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement said the party would not
\nrecognize Lydia Alhassan who won the election by 12,041 votes representing
\n68.80 percent \u201csince the entire process was a sham.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the Electoral Commission
\nChairperson to annul the result of the by-election,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The NDC statement also called on the
\nsecurity agencies to investigate some alleged disturbances at the residence of
\nthe NDC candidate which led to the violence which characterised the by-election<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our expectation that appropriate
\nsanctions would be taken against offenders in order to restore some level of
\nconfidence in the system. Failure to do this, we in the NDC will have no other
\noption but to meet the NPP boot for boot in any election the Jean Mensa-led EC
\nwill conduct under the NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo government,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

The statement also wants the National
\nSecurity Minister, Albert Kan Dappah, to answer three questions, with the first
\none being: \u201cHow many National Security operatives were commissioned on the day
\nto supervise the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election?\u201d<\/p>\n

The other question is: How many of them were given weapons and live ammunition? And the third one is: \u201cHow many MI6 and AK47 and accompanying ammunition were issued for their operations on the election day, 31st January, 2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
