The escalating tension comes as NDC supporters have intensified pressure at the Electoral Commission’s (EC) Greater Accra Regional Collation Centre, demanding the declaration of parliamentary seats they claim to have won. The disputed constituencies include Ablekuma North, Okaikwei Central, and Dome-Kwabenya. According to the NDC, these seats should be declared in their favor, but Salam Mustapha has dismissed these claims as baseless. He reassured NPP supporters to remain steadfast and optimistic despite the current challenges, adding, “We may be down, but we are not broken. By the end of the day, we aim to resolve these issues and ensure the truth prevails.” Mustapha also urged his supporters to stay motivated and avoid despair.

The unfolding political drama highlights the volatility of Ghana’s post-election environment. With accusations flying between the two major political parties, the situation calls for immediate intervention by authorities to restore calm and ensure justice. The NPP’s warning of retaliation raises concerns about the potential for violence, underscoring the need for dialogue and effective conflict resolution mechanisms. Meanwhile, stakeholders and civil society organizations have called on the police to uphold their mandate and act decisively to prevent further escalation. This tense post-election atmosphere serves as a reminder of the importance of peaceful coexistence and respect for democratic processes in resolving disputes. Both parties have a critical role to play in safeguarding Ghana’s democratic integrity as the nation awaits final decisions on the disputed parliamentary seats.
