The chairman of the National Peace Council Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante has called on the Electoral Commission to “expedite the process” leading to the declaration of the presidential results.
Ghanaians are anxious as they await the declaration of the results 24 hours clear of voting with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) claiming victory while the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) argue otherwise.
“We want to appeal to EC that when they create a vacuum, it will lead to all sorts of undesirable things,” Rev Asante said at a press conference.
“We are not pushing EC to rush but undue delay gives room for suspicion and for people to say all sorts of things.
“It’s important for the EC to expedite processes. They should tell the public when they will start. …It is only the EC that has the mandate to declare and anybody who tries to do that is usurping the powers of the EC.”
Rev. Asante is urging the public to remain calm.
