The parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Tema Central Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Charles Forson, has been declared the Member of Parliament-elect for the area.
The Tema Central Constituency was one of four constituencies in the Greater Accra Region whose declaration was nullified by the Electoral Commission of Ghana.
EC officials for Tema Central had initially declared NDC’s Ebi Bright the winner of the parliamentary election at the constituency’s collation centre.
However, the Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa, explained that the Tema Central declaration could not stand because its official was forced to do so.
“In Tema Central, the DEO again was threatened, and he was forced to declare results using 146 polling stations instead of 148. The Commission would not uphold that declaration,” she said at a press conference on December 19, 2024.
