“Sadly, that following day was not to be, and the collation was called off because we were informed by the police service that supporters of the parties were planning to besiege the police depot and to cause disruptions at the centre. We were advised to put it on hold, and so that collation is incomplete, and we cannot declare an outcome.”, she added
On Friday December 20, 2024, an Accra High Court ordered the Electoral Commission to go ahead with the collation of the 2024 parliamentary election results for the Nsawam Adoagyiri Constituency .
This is as a result of Hon Annoh-Dompreh ,who filed a mandamus application (a court order thag compels a public authority to perform a statutory duty) for the court to order the EC to collatr and declare the results.
The NDC candidate in the constituency had filed processes for the election for the constituency to be re-done
