The Electoral Commission (EC) has temporarily halted the collation process for the parliamentary election results in the Ablekuma North Constituency of the Greater Accra Region.
This decision comes after the submission of disputed pink sheets by the New Patriotic Party (NPP ), which has raised concerns over the credibility of the documents.
According to reports, the EC accepted 41 out of the 62 submitted pink sheets, while rejecting 21 due to questions over their authenticity.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has strongly objected to the use of scanned documents in the collation process, arguing that it is unprecedented and unacceptable.
The situation has been further complicated by the NDC’s withdrawal from the process, citing irregularities and a lack of transparency.
Vincent Obeng, the Returning Officer for the Ablekuma North Constituency, has emphasized the importance of verifying the pink sheets to maintain the integrity of the process.
This development is the latest in a series of challenges facing the EC in the aftermath of the December 7 general elections.
