The Member of Parliament-Elect for Techiman South Constituency in the Bono East Region, Mr Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah has debunked the allegation of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the results were not collated and no declaration has been made.

According to the Deputy Minister for Regional Re-organization and Development, the collation of the Techiman South election results was done and the Electoral Commission declared the results in the presence of the NDC team and observers at the collation centre in his favour.

“The results were collated and it was not only the NDC agents who were at the collation centre; the observers, the NDC candidate, Alex Kyeremeh, Agyei Mensah and myself were all at the collation centre. The NDC sat directly opposite of the EC table at the collation centre.

“Declaration was made, the collation was done and all the observers who were at the collation centre have their reports on the election results. What the NDC is saying is pure lies; we have kept quiet but we won’t allow darkness to prevail over light. This lies of the NDC will not help anybody”, he chided.  

He recounted that the NDC candidate rather came to the collation centre with a crowd claiming to be declared a winner when collation had not started; thus, it took the security to stop them.

“We started the collation almost 8 am the next day after the election was done as we waited for all the pink sheets of the NDC to start the collation. Every step of the way, the NDC tried to find any excuse to stop the collation but we did eventually”, he hinted.

Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Mr Martinn Agyei Mensah Korsah challenged the NDC to provide evidence which is contrary to the declared results for the Techiman South seat.

He added that the radio commentary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not auger well for the nation except to generate political tension for nothing.

“If you have evidence which is contrary to the declared results, present it and stop the radio commentary. I wonder what they seek to gain; they are raising political tension for nothing”, he challenged the NDC.
