Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) publicly stated that the party’s candidate for Techiman South, Christopher Baasongti, was fraudulently denied the seat in the recent elections, arguing that the Electoral Commission (EC)’s declaration in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is unacceptable.
Iddrisu asserted that the NDC legally won the seat and challenged both the media and the EC to demand a transparent, public, station-by-station re-collation of the results to prove the NDC’s victory.
The controversy arose when NDC supporters prevented the initial declaration of the NPP candidate, Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, as the winner. The Minority Leader warned that if the EC fails to publicly and transparently re-collate the results in line with Ghana’s laws, the NDC faction will refuse to participate in the January 7th parliamentary inauguration, making the resolution of the Techiman South results a condition for their attendance and potentially impacting the parliamentary majority.
