The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency is asking the Electoral Commission to annul the by-election held in the area because of the violence that led to the party’s withdrawal from the elections.
The party in a statement said it will not accept the results of the poll, in which the New Patriotic Party’s candidate polled 68.30% of the votes.
In a statement signed by the NDC Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency Chairman, Aborbi-Ayitey Bismark, he explained that they shall not recognize the heartless NPP candidate, Lydia Alhassan as MP-elect since the entire process was a sham.
“We call on the Electoral Commission to annul the result of the by-election since the election was conducted under questionable circumstances including the warlike environment,” the statement said.
“Failure to do this we in the NDC will have no other option but to meet the NPP boot for boot in any election the Jean Mensa-led EC will conduct under the NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo government,” the statement added.
Attached is the press statement.

If the gods want to kill you, they first make you mad. Indeed NDC has lost focus. the earlier they come back on track the better. Stop the concert party. Its enough, we have had our share of the laughter, lets get down to serious business wai. SMH
DID THE EC ANNUL TALENSI BYE-ELECTIONS? COWARDS AND FOOOOLLLLSSSS.
ELSE WHAT COWARDS
NDC ARE JUST DAY DREAMERS
If the NDC is of good intentions and is serious she should take his case to the court.
The description of the MP elect by the Constituency Chairman of the NDC is uncalled for. The NDC has no message even in defeat. They will continue to lose again and again.
@Joe...point of correction. The rift wasn't between NPP and NDC. it was between the ndc and the security personnel who were deployed to the constituency. NPP never and will never compete with the revolutionary roots pls.
Sometimes you looked at NDC party and you wonder if there are seeeensssiiibblle people in the party. All by elections are always associated with violence yet the NPP even in opposition never withdrawn so why this coward NDC party decided to pull out of the elections.
your wish. so there is no correct person in this NDC Party. we will be slapping you the more.
WARPED MIND. YOU SHOULD HAVE CONTESTEDBIN PROTEST THEN REGISTER YOUR GRIEVANCE. YOU DECIDED TO DISCONTINUE THE CONTEST, LOST, NOW YOU WANT THE CONTEST NULLIFIED. WHAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP IS THIS. ONCE THE EC DECLARES A WINNER, ALL YOU CAN DO IS GO TO COURT TO PROVE YOUR CASE. THIS INCOMPETENT THING ABOUT NDC COULD BE TRUE. WHAT IS THIS NUISANCE.
