Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, Director for Training at the Electoral Commission, has stated that the electoral body will use alternative methods to verify the results of the Ablekuma North Constituency Parliamentary election despite the destruction of ballot papers in a fire.

He made this statement on the sidelines of an event hosted by the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. He reassured Ghanaians that, despite the destruction of electoral materials, alternative verification methods are in place to address the disputed Ablekuma North Constituency election results.

"The ballot boxes have been burnt, but we have results in other forms. So once we can gather the results from other forms and they are complete, we can collate them. My point is that we should not set the precedent so that somebody can truncate the process. Because if it becomes like the survival of the fittest, the one who can bully his or her way becomes the winner.

"I do not think we should get there. If that is the decision of the voter, it should be upheld. So we should do anything that will uphold the decision of the voter, not technicalities," he added.
