Samuel Atta Akyea, the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, has maintained that the Electoral Commission (EC) can revisit results in contested seats without a court order.

This claim follows the Supreme Court's decision on December 27, which reversed a previous High Court finding that had approved the NPP's (New Patriotic Party) motion to have the EC re-collect results in several disputed seats.

The Supreme Court's ruling has rekindled discussion over the EC's independence in resolving election-related disparities.

In an interview with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV's The Point of View, Atta Akyea who's a private legal practitioner stressed that the Electoral Commission is legally required to re-collate results in constituencies where anomalies or fraud are suspected.
