This declaration follows a ruling by the Accra High Court, which directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to complete the collation of results for several constituencies, including Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Ablekuma North, and Techiman South, by January 6, 2025.

Earlier, Charles Forson of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was also confirmed as the winner of the Tema Central constituency after a recount of two outstanding polling stations.

Charles Forson secured 18,870 votes, narrowly defeating NDC’s Ebi Bright, who received 18,815 votes, and Frederick Aniagyei, who earned 209 votes. The total valid votes amounted to 37,894, with 144 rejected ballots, bringing the total number of votes cast to 38,038.

The court’s ruling was based on mandamus applications filed by NPP candidates, compelling the EC to finalize the incomplete result collation.

Justice Forson Agyapong, in his ruling, outlined the legal grounds for mandamus, emphasizing that applicants must prove the failure to perform a public duty and demonstrate substantial prejudice as a result.

In the case of Okaikwei Central, the court found that the EC had not fulfilled its duty by declaring results based on only 110 out of 141 polling stations. The judge ordered that the missing results be included before a final declaration could be made.

Similar rulings were issued for other constituencies, including Tema Central, Ablekuma North, and Techiman South, where incomplete results had previously been declared.

Justice Agyapong’s decision ensures that all outstanding polling station results will now be incorporated into the final tallies for these constituencies.
