So, what is keeping the Electoral Commission from officially declaring the results?\u201d Asiedu Nketia quizzed.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to the potential for unrest as frustrated youth at various collation centres grow impatient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe silence of the EC is becoming a threat to peace. The National Peace Council and other stakeholders must act now to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p>Asiedu Nketia also highlighted the role of the National Peace Council in ensuring fairness.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the Council previously spearheaded a peace pact among political parties but argued that peace cannot be sustained without transparency and justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Peace Council must show leadership by holding the EC accountable for this delay. Peace is not just about signing agreements; it requires all stakeholders, including the EC, to fulfill their responsibilities in a fair and timely manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He called on the EC to prioritize the national interest by announcing the presidential results, even if all parliamentary results are not yet finalized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to declare all constituency results before announcing the winner of the presidential election,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Asiedu Nketia reiterated the NDC\u2019s stance on maintaining peace but insisted that the EC\u2019s actions are critical to achieving that goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always been committed to peace, but peace thrives on justice.
