Some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from the Efia Constituency in the Western Region stormed the Takoradi office of the Electoral Commission, creating chaos.
An eyewitness reported that the angry mob smashed the office’s glass door but couldn’t get inside.
“We were here when we saw a large group of NDC members approaching, looking angry and shouting, ‘No Majeed, no peace.’ They first broke the glass door of the Electoral Commission office but couldn’t get inside. Luckily, there were no officers present at the time,” said Edward Amoah, a worker at the premises.

“The police were swift, some officers quickly came to get them out of the premises, but they are still around. More supporters keep coming but officers are still around”, he added.
The Efia Constituency parliamentary election was tightly contested.
Lawyer Yaw Boamah Nyarko of the New Patriotic Party had 15, 870 votes while Abdul-Majeed Iddrisu Nassam Dokurugu of the National Democratic Congress garnered 13, 892.
The NDC has contested the parliamentary result citing irregularities in collation. Their candidate has since refused to sign the pink sheet.
However, the Electoral Commission has gone ahead to declare the NPP candidate as the winner.
