According to the party, there are several examples to show the election<\/a> was flawed and poorly organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a press conference in Accra, Director of\u00a0Elections<\/a>\u00a0of the NDC, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah said the death of at least six persons, vote padding, widespread irregularities and the unprecedented number of rejected ballots, point to a process that was contrived and poorly organised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been urging the public to treat the EC\u2019s comments with contempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe NDC has taken note of several false claims by the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa in a speech delivered at the just ended two day workshop between the EC and the Interparty Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe purpose of this press conference is to formally respond to and expose the many unfounded claims peddled by the EC chair person in her speech and to explain to you the reasons for our boycott of these IPAC engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContrary to the claims by the EC chairperson that the 2020 general elections<\/a> was the best ever in the history of this country and calls for the nation to celebrate some so-called unprecedented success chalked by the EC in the conduct of the elections<\/a>, the facts show that last year\u2019s elections<\/a> was one of the most poorly conducted flawed and manipulated elections<\/a> in the history of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
