The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has asserted its confidence in winning 12 contentious parliamentary constituencies in the wake of the December 2024 general elections, calling on the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to cease interfering with the process.
During a press conference on Monday, December 16, 2024, at the party’s headquarters in Accra, the NPP expressed unwavering certainty in their success in constituencies including Ablekuma North, Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Dome Kwabenya, Ahafo Ano North, Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West, Akwatia, Suhum, Fanteakwa North, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and Techiman South.
Peter Mac Manu, a former national chairman of the NPP and leader of the party’s electoral and legal affairs committee, addressed growing concerns surrounding delays in the collation and declaration of results in these constituencies.
“We are very certain that our parliamentary candidates in the above-mentioned constituencies won the elections,” Mac Manu declared, citing official pink sheets from polling stations as the basis for the party’s claims.
“This conclusion is based on verifiable data that we have consistently demonstrated,” he added.
The NPP called for the Electoral Commission (EC) to expedite the collation process to ensure the democratic will of the voters is respected.
Mac Manu urged the EC to resume its work without further delay and emphasized the importance of security during the final stages of the election process.
“We implore the National Election Security Taskforce to provide adequate security to facilitate peaceful collation under a serene environment,” he said.
Mac Manu also addressed the NDC, urging the opposition party to rein in its supporters to avoid disruptions during the finalization of the results.
“We call on the NDC leadership to demonstrate responsible leadership by calling their supporters to order,” he stated.
The NPP’s press briefing also underscored the party’s focus on upholding national peace and democracy.
Mac Manu reiterated the need for all stakeholders, including political parties and security agencies, to ensure the election results reflect the will of the electorate, warning that any actions to undermine the process could have serious consequences for the country’s stability.
“We urge the EC and all stakeholders to take immediate steps to give effect to the will of voters as expressed in the December polls,” Mac Manu concluded.
