A leading member of the Movement for Change, Solomon Owusu, has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to rerun the entire parliamentary election in the Ablekuma North constituency.
Speaking on TV3 New Day on Wednesday, July 9, he established that all key stakeholders, including the EC, the NPP and the NDC, have admitted that the original results from the 281 polling stations cannot be traced, leaving the integrity of the electoral process in question.
“All of them at this stage are saying that the foundation document, based on which you can make a declaration, they don’t have the originals.
“If you are an institution, what would you do? Are you going to rely on a photocopy or a stamp copy, or whatever, to declare your results?” he asked.
He emphasised that relying on unofficial copies or unverifiable figures is unacceptable and called for a fresh vote across the entire constituency to restore confidence.
“The reasonable thing that should have even been done was to rerun the entire constituency.”
His comments follow a press conference by the NPP, during which the party’s General Secretary announced that the NPP will not take part in any rerun in the constituency.
