The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has successfully obtained a court order for the recount of parliamentary election results in three key constituencies in the Ashanti Region.
The affected constituencies—Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West, and Ahafo Ano North—were initially declared in favor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following the 2024 parliamentary elections. However, the NDC contested the outcomes, citing irregularities and discrepancies in the collation process.
In an interview with Channel One Newsroom, the NDC’s Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Rashid Tanko Computer, reaffirmed the party’s commitment to challenging what it sees as flawed electoral results.
He emphasized that the NDC remains determined to reclaim the disputed seats through legal means, ensuring that the recount process upholds transparency and fairness.
“Three seats are being chased in Ashanti region. We have gotten the court to rule that we should serve them using substituted service. Obuasi East, Ahafo Ano South West and Ahafo Ano North, these three constituencies, we are chasing them. In fact, we filed election petitions against them.
“You know, they used the same modus operandi they used for Okaikwei Central, Tema Central and Techiman South by manufacturing pink sheets. And because they know they have electoral officers who are so corrupt that they can use them to do their bidding, then they will also accept those manufactured pink sheets and use it to declare them. That is why we have run to court,” he stated.
