The Member of Parliament for the South Dayi constituency in the Volta Region, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has issued a strong caution to Electoral Commission (EC) officials at Tema Central, urging them to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.

In a post shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the lawmaker alleged attempts spearheaded by one Mr Brobbey to alter the parliamentary results in Tema Central.

According to him, Ebi Bright, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate, had secured a victory in the constituency.

He wrote, "If you steal the mandate of the people of TC, we shall prosecute you mercilessly. We are aware of the criminal things you are presently engaged in.”

Results from the various constituencies are being announced following the counting and collation of votes at the various polling and collation centres across the country.

The exercise, which is being held at the various collation centres in the country 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.
