Elections 2020: Presidential results will be declared today; with or without the full figures from the 2 remaining regions – EC

Ghana’s Electoral Commission (EC) chaired by Madam Jean Mensah has categorically announced that it will release the results for the 2020 presidential election today come what may.

This follows the failure of the Commission to meet an earlier 24-hour deadline announced by Chairperson, Jean Mensa.

Addressing a press conference where the Commission apologised for the delay,  the Deputy Chairman in-charge of Corporate Services, Dr Eric Asare Bossman said the results will be dropped with or without the total figures from some two remaining regions. 

In his own words;

When the time comes for the Commission to declare and let’s say the one with 18 constituencies; 17 or 16 are ready, and the other one with about 11, 10 or let’s say 9 are ready, and we do the analysis and we realise that the remaining constituencies will not affect the outcome of the elections what it means is that we will go ahead and declare.

And as a Commission, we will come back to revise the numbers once we have them available.

This is a standard which is done during the election…
