The Electoral Commission has urged the public to disregard news on social media alleging a meeting where blame was cast on the EC’s IT Department regarding the collation of the 2020 Election results.
According to the Commission, the said news which was also published in the Herald Ghana Newspaper on 14th December, 2020 is false, saying that no such meeting was held.
In a statement, the EC said, “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 EC also said the Election results as declared remain unchanged, adding that,”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. No software was used for the collation of results as purported in the false news story,” EC added.
