The incident occurred during the collation of polling station results for the Ablekuma North Constituency on Friday, January 17, 2025.
The EC is accusing the NDC’s Greater Accra Regional Organiser of leading the destruction of furniture and louvre blades at the Old Head Office and threatening staff at the New Corporate Head Office despite the presence of two unidentified men in military uniforms.
The EC is urging the police to identify, arrest and prosecute the culprits as there is available video evidence to aid investigations.
It also appealed to the government for adequate security to complete the collation process and declare the Ablekuma North results.
Deputy Chairman of Operations, Samuel Tettey, reaffirmed the EC’s commitment to ensuring the people of Ablekuma North have their elected Member of Parliament and called for police cooperation to achieve this objective.
Background
A High Court order on January 4, 2025, directed the EC to resume and declare results for four outstanding parliamentary elections.
Collation for Ablekuma North began on January 8 but was halted due to incomplete results from three polling stations.
The EC scheduled the continuation for January 17 at 8:00 am but police intelligence according to the electoral management body advised postponement.
Despite this warning, the EC said security was not enhanced leading to an invasion by party supporters.
