In a significant development, an Accra High Court has dismissed the National Democratic Congress\u2019s (NDC) application seeking to place an injunction on the Electoral Commission (EC) from re-collating the parliamentary results in nine disputed constituencies.<\/p>\n
The court said it cannot lend its support to an illegality, specifically declarations made under duress.<\/p>\n
This decision paves the way for the EC to proceed with the re-collation of results in the affected constituencies.<\/p>\n
Background of the Dispute<\/p>\n
The dispute began when the EC announced that it would not uphold the results of nine constituencies due to disruptions and irregularities in the collation process.<\/p>\n
The affected constituencies include Ablekuma North, Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Dome Kwabenya, Nsawam Adoagyiri, and Techiman South.<\/p>\n
According to the EC, the disruptions were caused by supporters of political parties who besieged collation centers, destroyed property, and intimidated EC staff.<\/p>\n
The commission stated that the presence of hundreds of supporters at the collation centers brought proceedings to a standstill and, in some instances, vandalized and destroyed desktop computers set up to collate results electronically.<\/p>\n
Court Ruling<\/p>\n
In its ruling, the High Court emphasized that it cannot support declarations made under duress, as this would undermine the integrity of the electoral process.<\/p>\n
The court\u2019s decision is seen as a significant development in the ongoing dispute over the parliamentary election results.<\/p>\n
The EC has welcomed the court\u2019s ruling, stating that it will proceed with the re-collation of results in the affected constituencies.<\/p>\n
The commission has assured the public that it will conduct the re-collation process transparently and fairly, ensuring that the will of the people is reflected in the final results.<\/p>\n
The NDC has expressed disappointment with the court\u2019s ruling, stating that it will explore all available legal options to challenge the decision.<\/p>\n
The party has accused the EC of being biased and attempting to manipulate the electoral process in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n
