The Electoral Commission has noted with concern a news story published by The Herald Ghana on 14th December, 2020 and subsequently circulated on social media alleging a meeting where blame was cast on the EC’s IT Department regarding the collation of the 2020 Election results.
The Commission wishes to categorically state that this is FALSE. No such meeting was held on the 14th December, 2020 as alleged, neither will any such meeting be held.
The Election results as declared remain unchanged. They are based on evidence and facts from the Pink Sheets approved and signed by Agents of the Political Parties.
For the information of the General Public, the collation of the 2020 Election results was done manually at the Polling Stations, Constituency and Regional Collation Centres before they were forwarded through fax/email to the National Collation Centre at the Head Office of the Commission.
