The 2020 National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Essikado-Ketan, Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah has filed a petition at the Sekondi High Court to challenge the results.
The petitioner is asking the Court to ascertain from the First Respondent, Joe Ghartey, who was the NPP Parliamentary Candidate and the Second Respondent, the EC, to explain the late introduction of strange ballot boxes at the Collation Centre in the night which compromised the pink sheets from the polling stations.
The petitioner further alleged that steps were taken by the Second Respondent to cover up the said illegal acts by altering polling station-declared results and tampering with Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs).
The petitioner is therefore demanding a full and accurate auditing of all relevant BVDs used in the said Parliamentary election in the constituency.
