We Have Evidence Of Vote Padding In Favour Of The NPP - Sammy Gyamfi

The National Democratic Congress NDC says its audit has revealed widespread vote padding in favour of New Patriotic Party NPP presidential candidate, Akufo Addo. The party and its 2020 presidential candidate, Mahama have rejected the outcome of the election, insisting it was flawed and the results are fictitious. Sammy Gyamfi, National Communications Officer of the party,

said the party has uncovered instances where votes for Mr Mahama have been reduced and candidate Akufo-Addo’s votes increased. The first reason why we took this decision is because of evidence of widespread padding of votes in favour of Akufo Addo that we have uncovered through our audit of the presidential results, he said on Saturday. He added, the Padding happened

mainly at the constituency collation centres where the polling station results recorded on basis of statement of polls what we call pink sheets are aggregated. So you realised that in aggregating the polling stations votes, more votes are added to the candidate Akufo Addo in some cases and votes were deducted from the vote of candidate John Dramani Mahama. And so the

aggregate figure which has been declared by the EC is not reflective of the true outcome because it has been padded. But the Executive Director of the Center for the Democratic Development Professor H. Kwesi Prempeh who was on the show reiterated calls to the NDC to present their evidence to the courts for redress if they believe the said evidence can change the outcome of the election.
