adminBy adminDecember 9, 2020

 

A former Executive Director of the National Service Scheme, Dr Michael Kpessa-Whyte, who is likewise an individual from the fundamental resistance National Democratic Congress’ political race onlooker group installed inside the Electoral Commission’s Collation Center, hosts asserted that his gathering has identified some extra 390,000 ballots in the Ashanti Region short-term.

The Research Fellow with the History and Politics Section at the Institute of African Studies (IAS), University of Ghana, Legon, revealed to Kwesi Parker-Wilson of Accra-put together Joy News with respect to Wednesday, 9 December 2020, that the 390,000 additional voting forms are an error between the 1.4 million polling forms they ordered and confirmed from the pink sheets and the figure that was introduced to them by the EC in the resemblance room.

He said the NDC is baffled and disappointed about that and some different cycles of the EC “since one is normal, maybe, to have seen the materials being faxed unbelievably in however what we have been seeing here in the examination room is that the appointive officials come to appropriate papers and state: ‘These are from the locales’ and afterward we need to crosscheck with our officials in the districts”, adding: “In a portion of the areas, they have counted, in different areas, we have gigantic errors and I will need to alert that while the EC is attempting to improve its cycles, it doesn’t have to re-appropriate effectiveness and exactness to the local chiefs since we are generally starting to quantify a portion of the figures that are coming from a portion of the areas, as introduced by the local political decision chiefs to the EC with what we are seeing from the different pink sheets that are coming from the supporters and the branches and there are tremendous variations”.

Giving explicit subtleties, Dr Kpessa-Whyte stated: “Ashanti Region, for example, when we take a gander at our pink sheets from the different branches and the voting demographics, it’s around 1.4 million votes yet what we have been introduced here in the gathering room is about 1.79 million votes and I imagine that is a distraction that can make issues”.

As indicated by him, “by one way or another, a lot of countless votes have gotten to Ashanti that I accept that we would likely need to return to re-assemblage by investigating the polling stations and taking a gander at the numbers that have been placed in there and see whether some unfamiliar materials have been placed into that voting booth”.

Asked by Parker-Wilson on the off chance that he is claiming polling booth stuffing had occurred, Dr Kpessa-Whyte stated: “Well, indeed, I am asserting that there is some stuffing and the numbers don’t have the goods, in this way, we are seeing a possibility that would most likely take the long stretch”.

He, hence, recommended that the political race the board body control itself from announcing the eventual outcomes until all the errors are settled.

“In the event that the EC will practice some tolerance and permit us to really make an intensive showing; there’s no compelling reason to surge by any means. That is to say, I feel that the best that should emerge from this cycle is that the order of individuals must be regarded and the best way to do it is to do it in a way that everyone acknowledges and regards that specific cycle”.

“Also, along these lines, Ashanti Region is one”.

He said separated from the Ashanti Region, “we additionally realize that a few things occurred in Bono East. We realize we have won Bono East and there was some viciousness and some polling booths were decimated to a great extent and unmistakably, that was likewise an endeavor to guarantee that a portion of our votes were removed”.

“We feel that that, once more, is something that should be completely examined and investigated and guarantee that the exact numbers are introduced before any last grouping can occur”, he proposed.

Furthermore, he stated: “We can likewise discuss the Northern Region that hasn’t come out yet and we realize that we have a colossal lead in the Northern Region too, Greater Accra, we have additionally not seen it yet; we realize we have an extraordinary lead-in Greater Accra, thus, that stuffing that is giving Ashanti Region a lead, this is the thing that we found after we left here the previous evening when we saw their figures and afterward we returned, picked our pink sheets and began doing our gathering and afterward we understood that there are differences in the figures, in this way, that would be drawn out into the open; we have properly educated the mother party, the NDC, that these are things that we have noticed and I feel that it is the perfect activity and we ought not be blamed for doing due ingenuity by any means”.

He said the NDC doesn’t have any doubts surrendering in the event that it loses the surveys in a reasonable way.

“We have won and lost races in this nation previously, we are not unfamiliar to it at all and, truth be told, the last significant political decision in this nation, we lost, thus, we don’t have a difficult surrendering in the event that we, surely, lost, yet we should do so just to the degree that the order of individuals is appropriately regarded”.
