According to Modern Ghana on Friday, December 27, 2024, In a statement on December 27, Oquaye alleged that thugs disrupted the collation process by stealing and burning election pink sheets.
“Thugs came in, snatched pink sheets, burnt pink sheets,” Oquaye said, expressing disbelief over the NDC’s claims of ignorance regarding the situation.
He questioned the legitimacy of the election results that declared the NDC’s Elikplim Akurugu as the winner, a decision later nullified by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Oquaye emphasized that a transparent and fair electoral process requires the proper representation of all parties during collation.
He suggested that the violent actions of the thugs undermined the credibility of the election results, which led to the current legal battles.
The Dome-Kwabenya constituency is one of nine contested seats undergoing a court-ordered re-collation.
While the EC has confirmed the results in seven of these constituencies, the outcomes for Dome-Kwabenya and Ablekuma North remain unresolved, pending a Supreme Court ruling on the NDC’s challenge.
“We want transparency,” Oquaye added, stressing that his party is prepared to accept the final results if the process is conducted fairly.
