The African Electoral Institute (AEI) is calling on the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana to update its official website with the certified constituency collated results of the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
This request comes over a month after Ghana’s general elections, with the EC’s website still lacking the full formal results.
The EC’s website provides only the regional certified collated results of the presidential results.
Despite the gazette of the list of MP-Elects, communication of the list to the Parliament of Ghana, and the swearing-in of 275 out of 276 MP-elects, with Ablekuma North in the Greater Accra Region outstanding, the EC’s website remains outdated.
The original online link for parliamentary results can not be found on the website.All the EC’s social media platforms do not have a single certified constituency collated results for the presidential and parliamentary elections.
The African Electoral Institute (AEI) by this press release emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
The EC, by not providing the certified constituency collated results, is making it difficult for stakeholders to assess the details of the formally declared results.
The African Electoral Institute(AEI), therefore, urges the EC to take immediate action to update its website with the certified constituency collated results, ensuring that the electoral process is transparent, accountable, and credible.
