NDC Goes After Carlos Ahenkorah’s Tema West Seat While Awaiting Parliament Decision On Him

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) have begun processes to challenge the legitimacy of Carlos Ahenkorah’s election as Member of Parliament for Tema West, while also awaiting decision by the leadership of Parliament to punish him or otherwise for his brazen act of snatching ballot papers during the election of a Speaker of Parliament.

The NDC has filed a petition at the Tema High Court seeking a recount of the ballot papers.

Speaking to Ghanaweb, member of the NDC’s legal team, Abraham Amaliba noted that the NDC after auditing polling station results noticed that the numbers do not add up and that their candidate should have been declared the winner of the elections.

“We found a number of issues after our audit. We identified issues of over-voting and vote padding. The vote padding was achieved using the military to intimidate the electoral officers so, in the confusion, they succeeded in padding the votes for the benefit of Carlos Ahenkorah. So basically it is about vote padding and over-voting,” he said.
