The Electoral Commission (EC) has reaffirmed its independence amid growing agitation from supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) demanding the immediate release of results from a contested constituency.
Fred Tetteh, Deputy Director of Research at the EC, made it clear in an interview with GHOne TV that no one can dictate the Commission’s timeline.
“One thing that I will like people to know is that the Electoral Commission, as per Article 46 of the 1992 Constitution, doesn’t work under the direction or authority of any individual or body.
“The Commission’s independence is assured in the Constitution, and therefore, giving ultimatum will not amount to anything. The Commission, in its own time, will come out and have the three polling stations added up and a declaration made,” he stated.
