EC says results calculation was not accurate, says it was accidental.

The Electoral Commission has said that the 2020 elections results calculation was not accurate.

According to a statement made via their Facebook handle, she said they inadvertently (accidentally) used 13,433,573 as the total valid votes cast instead of 13,119,460.

However, “This does not change the percentages stated for each candidate and the declaration made by the chairperson”

The chairperson of the electoral commission of Ghana, came out this morning to say that their calculations was not accurate following a Twitter Mathematician’s calculations yesterday.

“The Chairperson of the electoral commission inadvertently used 13,433,573 as total valid votes cast. The total valid votes cast is 13,119,460” the Commission confessed to the act in a release.

Nevertheless, calculations by other mathematicians also point to the fact that Nana Addo wouldn’t have crossed the 50%+1 mark if the right figures were used.

This indicates the opposition party has a point in rejecting the election results, branding it as flawed and discredited elections.

Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu in a statement said: “as a party, we have done extensive consultation and detailed analysis of the outcome of the elections as announced by Jean Mensah… and we have come to one conclusion and that’s, it is a flawed, discredited election and therefore we reject without any reservations… we reject the presidential elections results as announced by her”

He continued: “and we also want to serve notice that the blatant effort to deny us of a parliamentary majority will be fiercely resisted. We know that the good people of Ghana gave us a mandate and that mandate included a parliamentary majority that they are engaged in an attempt in connivance with the Electoral commission to undermine and to reduce through brut force and military excessive behaviour”
