The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has begun moves to contest election results in three Constituencies in the Brong Ahafo Region where it lost parliamentary seats.

It has filed a petition at the High Court challenging parliamentary results.

According to the party,  there were irregularities during voting at Asunafo South, Banda and Pru West constituencies.

Deputy General Secretary Nana Obiri Boahen speaking in an interview with Accra-based Class FM said, "There were numerous irregularities. Foreign materials were found in ballot boxes. Some ballot papers were tampered with and a whole lot of things."

"It is only when they have been gazetted as Members of Parliament that you can bring an action, except in extreme cases where there is payment of money which was fraudulently done.

"In our case, for instance, we’ve looked at the law very well – CI94, PNDC Law 284 – and the amended laws and it is quite clear that until they have been gazetted, the court doesn’t have the jurisdiction to entertain such petitions," he added.

It is however asking an order from the court to have ballot papers recounted manually or a re-run of elections in these constituencies.
