Bernard Antwi Boasiako, alias Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, is appealing for calm and restraint among the party faithful as the collation of results from the 2024 elections continues.

Chairman Wontumi urged the party supporters to ignore reports of an early lead for the opposition and focus on the process so far.

“When we vote at the polling station, it is counted and taken to the collation centers before being sent to the regional and then headquarters. People should calm down and relax. I will be coming here periodically to update the people on the process so far,” he said.

The Electoral Commission is announcing the results from the constituencies following the counting and collation of results at the various polling and collation centers across the country.

The exercise, which is being held at the National Collation Centre in Accra, is aimed at promoting transparency and fairness in the electioneering process.

Both the National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party have been holding separate press conferences urging their supporters to remain calm and allow the EC to do its work.

The NPP has admonished its supporters to conduct themselves properly while they monitor the collation and announcement of results.

The NDC, on the other hand, has ordered its supporters to remain vigilant and not celebrate as they follow the process.

The 2024 elections were contested by 13 presidential candidates and 807 parliamentary candidates.
