Returning Officer Halts Tema Central Re-Collation Over Threats to His Family Amid Chaos
Returning Officer cites threats to family and demands presence of all parties before proceeding.
- Returning officer halts recount
- NDC demands full re-collation
- Walkouts and heavy security deployment stall the electoral process
The re-collation of parliamentary election results for Tema Central has hit a deadlock as Returning Officer Mr. Brobbey refused to proceed without representatives from all political parties.
Citing threats to his family and personal safety, Mr. Brobbey stated, “I can’t risk my life… Both parties should be present so we arrive at a compromise.”
The standoff began when NDC parliamentary candidate Ebi Bright, supported by Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, demanded a full re-collation of votes per a court directive. Frustrated by the Electoral Commission’s refusal to restart the process, both NDC representatives exited the collation center in protest.
With tensions escalating and heavy security deployed to the EC Greater Accra Regional office, the electoral dispute remains unresolved.
