The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is contesting election results in five Constituencies in the Western Region where it lost parliamentary seats.
The NPP says it is heading to court for an order to have ballot papers recounted manually or a re-run of elections in these constituencies.
Speaking to Joy News, NPP Western Regional Secretary, Charles Bissiw, explained that the party was surprised when it lost in Ellembelle, Aowin, Suaman, Amenfi Central and Juaboso constituencies.
Mr Bissiw said in Suaman for instance, the party was in the lead but surprisingly lost the seat by 12 votes.
“We are going to court [Tuesday], the legal team will meet. We’ve called for all the pink sheets in Takoradi so we are going to look at them,” he said.
“On 7th of December when the elections were going on, we had our own plans as to the collation of our results which was piloted in Amenfi West, where we got our results by 6:30pm – five hours before the EC got its results, so by 7pm we knew which constituencies we had won,” he adds.
However, the Western Region Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joe Nelson, has dismissed the claims by the NPP.

One thing this election should teach everybody is that it is God who is in charge. He rules in the affairs of men. When the NDC shouted itself hoarse that it was impossible for Nana Addo to be president of Ghana he just continued to trust in the Lord. Bible says vengeance is mine I will repay. Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Again in Proverbs 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. Don't worry at all. God He sees, God He knows, GOD He hears, God He remembers. Nothing is hid from His eyes. Again the bible says Nahum 1:3 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. If a curse should come on anyone don't worry GOD is the judge. He will not acquit the wicked. Let us all fear Jehovah God the Almighty GOD. Let us fear HIM. Think on your own life let me think on my own life. Let us all think on our lives and on our ways for it says in Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire. Again the bible says in Psalms 96:4-6 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before him: So all who are fretting don't worry. God is the judge and He is a righteous judge. Let us inspect our lives and see if we are right in His sight for it is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of Almighty God. May God bless us all. strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Please I will suggest NPP should take the issue to court quickly before those MPs take their seats in the parliament house. I know there were elements of stealing that went on in those constituencies so I will encourage the NPP to hurry up and take the issue to course.
If there's one thing I feel may disturb Nana Addo is the curses that they rain on those who will change results in the election. I saw an audio message circulating on social media concerning the death of nana Addo and so Ghanaians should pray for him. Well , we are praying but if indeed they stole any part of the elections then they should be ready for the consequences of their own actions. You have the freedom to choose your actions but you don't have the freedom to choose the aftermath consequences. So seriously if any serious NPP member is reading this then draw the attention of the NPP hierarchy. As they cursed openly they should reverse it openly before they begin dying.
Please NDC let Akufo Addo come so that we can see the different. After you people has rule for 8 years okay.However, I know Akufo Addo will failure like Asante shitttttttttttttti. Why because he Akufo Addo instructed his people to curse EC chairwoman and her family. I want remind him they should and kill one of their member for the thank you service they the promise the Atoa nima hence it will follow them unit they die.
