The National Democratic Congress
Party (NDC) has since the declaration of the 2020 Elections results by the Electoral
Commission (EC) which they believed have been rigged and flawed in favour of
the ruling party has taken to the streets to demonstrate against the injustice
on the part of the Jean Mensah led Electoral Commission.
Ghanaians went to the polls to
elect a new President and Members of Parliament who will be handling the
affairs of the country for the next four years.
After a lot of tussle among the
two biggest party in the country, the New Patriotic Party and the National
Democratic Congress party (NDC), the Electoral Commission (EC) through their
chairperson, Miss Jean Mensah came out to declare the incumbent President Nana
Addo as the President Elect from the 2020 elections.
The NPP government retained
power with a vote percentage of 51.5% lower than the percentage they used in
winning the 2016 elections.
Just 48 hours after the
elections, the Electoral Commission (EC) led by their Chairperson Jean Mensah
declared the NPP, and it’s Presidential Candidate Nana Addo as the President
Elect.
The National Democratic Congress
(NDC) categorically refused to accept the results with the reason being that
the results have been flawed.
The Electoral Commission later
came out to accept that they did make a mistake in the total number of valid
votes cast hence bringing out a new figure as the total for valid votes.
The National Democratic Congress party (NDC) led by their
general secretary, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah popularly known as General mosquito
and the National Director of communications for the party, Sammy Gyamfi in many
of their organized press conferences called on the NDC fraternity especially
the supporters to protest against the EC.
The National Democratic Congress
(NDC) fraternity across the country followed the orders of their leaders and
hit the streets to protest.
Earlier yesterday, the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) fraternity of the Ho Central Constituency in the
Volta region marched to the regional headquarters of the EC to submit their
petition.
The protesters who only wanted
to submit their petition were denied access into the office of the EC by heavy
deployed security officers.
The EC officials who were
supposed to go on a working leave tomorrow, December 24, were no where around
the working premises.
After pouring some libation, one
of the angry NDC demonstrator vanished into the Electoral Commissions Office to
paste their petition on the notice board of the EC.
He returned climbing over the
gate, a move which shocked all security operatives present.
