The High in Accra has dismissed National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) application against the Electoral Commission (EC) over the re-collation of five Constituencies that their Parliamentary Candidates had earlier been declared winners.

The Court presided over by Justice Joseph Owusu-Adu Agyeman said the said disputed. Results has been deemed to be fraudulent and the Court cannot be invited to endorse such fraudulent act.

To the ends, the Court said the application is dismissed.

The NDC on Monday, December 16, 2024, sued the EC over the re-collation of five Constituencies that their Parliamentary Candidates have earlier been declared winners.

In Court on Friday, December 20, 2024 the NDC through its Director of Legal Affairs, said the action is seeking an order of judicial review in the nature of Declaration, Certiorari, Prohibition and Injunction.

The request wants the declarations made in the December 7 elections in favour of Faustina Elikplim Akurugu, (Dome Kwabena), Baba Sadiq, (Okaikwei Central), Ewurabena Aubynn (Ablekuma North), Ebo Bright, (Tema Central) and Samuel Aboagye (Obuasi East), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Applicants, maintained.

The NDC though presented to the Court video footages of EC returning officers declaring those results, the request was turned down.

But, the EC through its lawyers led by Justine Amenuvor though did not file any affidavit in opposition said, the action is pre-mature.

The NDC again submitted that, the EC following their earlier declarations “has become functus officio and therefore cannot re-collate, recount and re-declare the results of the already declared election results in the stated constituencies.”

The party is also seeking an Order prohibiting the Respondent from re-collating, re-counting and re-declaring the already collated and declared parliamentary election results in the Dome Kwabenya, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, Tema Central and Obuasi East constituencies.
