The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has advised its followers to wait for the official results of the general elections in 2024 before celebrating too soon.
As the results are being compiled nationwide, NDC Communications Director Sammy Gyamfi stressed to reporters during a press briefing the value of staying calm and alert.
“If you are listening to this address, on behalf of our leader and father, John Dramani Mahama, and the incoming president of Ghana, make your way to your constituency collation centre. Also If you were at the polling station at the time of declaration I am sure by now following the ballot boxes and other electoral materials to the EC collation centre.
“If you were not at the polling station, wherever you are in your constituency, this is the time to play your role. You have voted, your votes have been counted and declared at the polling station, and now you have the responsibility to protect those votes.
“So, this new stage of constituency collation is of utmost importance to all of us and our leader would want all of us to stop the jubilation until results are duly collated, and declared at the constituency centres.
“The results form at the collation centres duly filled and signed by the various party collation agents and our agent is given his or her copy. You don’t jubilate,” he stated.
In order to guarantee election openness, he also urged party agents and representatives at the various collation centers to maintain focus, keep an eye on events, and report any irregularities as soon as they arise.
As preliminary results from polling places across the country begin to roll in, the NDC’s announcement comes amid increased anticipation.
