The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Director of Election and IT, Dr. Omane Boamah says institutional decay witnessed under the previous government will be healed.

This comes on the back of the Electoral Commission’s re-collation and declaration of results of Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, and Techiman South with Ablekuma North pending.

There is also an injunction placed on Akwatia and Fanteakwa North.

Speaking to GHOne TV, Dr. Boamah stated that the party would use all legitimate means to correct the wrongs that occurred during the just-ended parliamentary elections.

According to him, “If you have the audacity to defy the law, then it means that you have the muscle to bear the weight of the law.”

But, he, however, added that the NDC will allow the law to work.

“We are ready and willing to let justice work, and by the grace of God, institutional decay that we have seen over the past eight years, there is a new dawn. That institutional decay itself will also be healed.

“It is not an abuse of office, we didn’t start this case when we were in office, we believe in our courts and we will continue to fight it, that is all. Ghanaians made a decision, Ghanaians are a sovereign people, so when a sovereign people makes a decision we must respect that,” Dr. Boamah stated.

According to him, there is no way the party will let go of any parliamentary seats won by the NDC.

“The Ghanaian people made a decision to give the NDC more than two-thirds Majority of Parliament, that is what must prevail. We shall use due process, we shall not be lawless, and we believe that when the courts are fair, justice will smile on us.”
