Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) Greater Accra Regional Chairman, has declared that the party will use the legal system to overturn the Electoral Commission's (EC) rulings over contested parliamentary results rather than resorting to violence.

Mr. Ashie Moore voiced his displeasure with the EC's handling of the recent parliamentary election issues during an interview on Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen show.

"Now, things are different. What dynamics existed? The supervisor hurried too much. She was expected to relax and wait for all the difficulties to be overcome. However, he said that she made snap decisions instead.

Mr. Ashie Moore claimed that Jean Mensa, the chair of the EC, occasionally took unilateral action.

We are aware that she made that choice alone, with just her two deputies. He questioned, "Why couldn't she simply call an IPAC meeting and involve stakeholders to make the right decision?"

Additionally, he contrasted the current EC leadership with that of earlier administrations.



He said, "Was this how things were done under Dr. Afari-Gyan?" In contrast, we have been really tactful. Before Mahama is sworn in, we will make sure the right thing is done through the correct processes, unlike the NPP, who are desperate.

In the meantime, the EC has justified its choice to re-collect results in specific seats, arguing that it is a valid measure to preserve the integrity and correctness of election results.

The EC clarified in a statement that "recollection of votes is not unprecedented." Prior EC administrations have carried it out in the Pru constituency in 2004, the Tolon constituency in 2004, and Yapei Kusawgu in 2004.

"Re-collation is a lawful process to address discrepancies and ensure election results are accurate," the EC said, rejecting claims of illegality.
