So once we can gather the results from other forms and once they are complete, we can collate it. My point is that we should not set the precedent so that somebody can truncate the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause if it becomes like the survival of the fittest, the one who can bully his way or her way becomes the winner. I do not think we should get there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that is the decision of the voter, it should be upheld. So we should do anything that will uphold the decision of the voter, not technicalities,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong> stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Electoral Commission has assured that alternative methods are available to verify the results of the Ablekuma North Constituency Parliamentary election, despite the destruction of ballot papers in a fire.
