Adentan Constituency: Ramadan arrives to monitor collation process

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for Adentan, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, has taken a front-row seat as the Electoral Commission begins the process of declaring the winners of the Presidential and Parliamentary elections in the Adentan Constituency.

Although the collation is taking place at the Conference Hall of the Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Adenta Frafraha, the process is still far from complete.

However, the NDC appears confident in its chances, with the mood among party representatives at the centre reflecting optimism.

Upon Mr. Ramadan's arrival, he was warmly greeted by party members, and the Graphic Online observed several representatives congratulating one another. With results from 325 polling stations yet to be declared, it may take all night for the EC to announce the final outcome.

The process was delayed because the EC had to first sort and count the ballots from the Special Voting exercise that took place last Monday, however, since that had to be done with party agents around, it took a while to get it done.

With the EC officials working through the night to ensure the  collation was complete,  residents within the Constituency are likely to wake up to the news in the morning.

However, agents of the NDC at the Collation Centre seem to be in high spirit about the outcome of the elections.

Outside the centre, the main gate where the police are holding off unaccredited people from entering, some NDC supporters had also converged outside in high spirits and congratulating their party agents for a good job done.

Meanwhile, with about 70 results confirmed, the NPP Presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the Parliamentary candidate, Akosua Asaa Manu (Kozie Cares) are yet to have a polling station declared in their favour.

Unfortunately, the NPP agents may have let the cat out of the bag too early as most of them left immediately after the counting of the special voting, leaving a few of the party polling agents to monitor the Collation.
