The Abokobi Women's Development Centre 2 polling station in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency will host a repeat of the election, per an order from the Electoral Commission (EC).This action comes after 367 polling stations' results were collated, revealing three stations' results to be inconsistent.The EC's Director of Training, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, provided an explanation of the problem. The returning officers reported that they had finished compiling the results from 367 voting places. Three of the results remained with them, and the other three were delivered later.One of them was rejected outright by the commission on the grounds that it was based on an incorrect poll statement because they employed training papers that weren't appropriate.
We therefore made the decision to come and combine the two and observe what transpires after the commission rejected one.The difference between the top two candidates shrank to just 165 votes after accounting for the two genuine results. However, 669 voters were accounted for by the rejected result. The Electoral Commission requested a rerun at that polling place because the trailing candidate would have surpassed the leader if all of those votes had gone to them.Dr.
The voting place in question is called Abokobi Women's Development Centre 2, Quaicoe said. We are providing the commission with our report, and they will decide when it should be completed. However, we are guaranteed that it will be completed prior to their inauguration.In the Dome Kwabenya parliamentary contest, where every vote counts, the repeat is essential to the outcome.
The NDC's Elikplim Akurugu was declared the winner of the Dome Kwabenya parliamentary election, defeating a seat that had long been thought to as an NPP bastion.Allegations of anomalies, however, clouded her victory. After a swarm of party supporters gathered at the collation facility, several pink sheets were allegedly altered.
