EC exposed on vote figures padding in favor of President Akufo Addo
By Dorcas Osei
Some nine days after the declaration of 2020
presidential election results, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which
has since rejected the results as declared by the Electoral Commissioner (Jean
Mensah), describing it as ‘flawed, discredited and fictionalized’, claims there
are some counted vote figures which were padded by the Electoral Commission in
order to secure more votes for the NPP’s candidate to help him win the December
7 elections.
The Communications Officer of the party, Sammy Gyamfi, speaking
at a press conference in Accra, Thursday, December 17, 2020, presented some
cases and elements of evidence that exposes the EC of vote padding in some
constituencies across the country.
Sammy Gyamfi named Ejisu, Atwima Kwanwoma, Akrofuom, Atwima
Nwabiagya North, Manhyia North and Gushegu constituencies as some few areas the
initial audit of the pink sheet the party has uncovered as votes padded for
Akufo-Addo.
He indicated at the news conference the party has also
discovered some incidence of over voting in certain areas which should null the
votes completely according to the law that govern elections in the country.
He said what the party has detected in their audit of the
pink sheets is “naked thievery”.
Sammy Gyamfi cited an example thus, “So Sunyani West SDA
Primary School, Chiraa 1 Polling Station, the number of voters on the voter’s
register is 49. Total ballots allocated to the polling station by the EC per
the constituency ballot statistics document they themselves gave political
parties is 60.”
“Yet, the total votes cast at the polling station is 466 as
recorded on the face of the pink sheet. If this is not evidence of electoral
fraud, then what is it?” he questioned.
