The New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials in the Western region are considering a court action to seek a recount of some parliamentary ballots in the region.
In an interview with CITI FM, the Western regional secretary of the party, Charles Bissue reveals the intention of the party to go to court to seek recount of some of constituencies in the region.Â
“We are going to court. Tomorrow [today], the legal team will meet. We’ve called for all the pink sheets in Takoradi so we are going to look at them; but those 5 seats are Ellembele, Aowin, Suaman, Amenfi Central and Juaboso. On the 7th of December when the elections were going on, we had our own plans as to the collation of our results which was piloted in Amenfi West, where we got out results by 6.30 pm; 5 hours before the EC got their results; so, by 7:00pm we knew which constituencies we had won.â€
Meanwhile, the western regional secretary of the National Democratic Congress NDC), Joe Nelson, is denying any cases of irregularities.
According to him, the NDC won genuinely in the recently held polls in the constituencies in question.
