The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr Afari Djan, this evening made a
declaration on the
December 7 presidential election, declaring President John
Mahama as the winner with 50.70% of
the valid vote.
As the New Patriotic
Party leadership made it clear to him earlier this evening, in a meeting
requested
by us and called by the National Peace Council, with the other
political parties in attendance, we have
serious reservations about the validity
of what the Chairman of the Electoral Commission has done in
declaring results
that, by the evidence, do not reflect the mandate of the required majority of
the
Ghanaian electorate.
The National Chairman of the Party has
accordingly convened an emergency meeting of the National
Executive Committee of
the NPP on Tuesday December 11 to lay out the steps that the party will take
in
light of these events.
In the meanwhile, we are calling upon all NPP
members and supporters to remain
calm.
......signed...... Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie General
Secretary of the NPP
