The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Tema Central, Ebi Bright, has filed a petition at the High Court, contesting the elections of Charles Forson of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as the Member of Parliament, citinewsroom.com has reported.

She contends that the results used to declare Charles as the winner do not accurately reflect with the electorates.

The report further indicated that, her petition highlights alleged irregularities in three polling stations, where she claims discrepancies exist between the original pink sheets held by the Electoral Commission (EC) and the duplicates provided to the NDC.

According to Ebi Bright, the original pink sheets bear the names and signatures of presiding officers, while the duplicates do not.

She also contends that the votes recorded on the original pink sheets fail to reconcile with the total valid votes and overall vote count.

Ebi Bright is requesting the court to invalidate the results from the disputed polling stations and overturn the declaration of Charles Forson as the winner.

However, she seeks a court-ordered re-run in the affected polling stations.

This legal challenge follows a prior High Court directive on January 4,2025, compelling the EC to collate results from two polling stations in the Tema Central constituency.

After completing the collation process, Charles Forson was declared the winner with 18,870 votes, narrowly defeating Ebi Bright, who secured 18,815 votes.

An independent candidate, Frederick Aniagyei, obtained 209 votes.
