Baba Jamal, a former MP for the Akwatia Constituency in the Eastern Region, has added his voice to the controversial Techiman South results in the just-ended 2020 election, explaining why the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) cannot proceed to the court to make a case.

According to him, the party lacks evidence to challenge the controversial results in the law court.
He said, since the Electoral Commission (EC) has failed to present a copy of the declaration form or summary sheet which they used to declare Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah of the NPP as the winner of the polls to the party, the NDC cannot protest the results in court.

Adding that they can’t go to court without evidence.

Speaking on Okay FM's ‘Ade Akye Abia’ morning show hosted by Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, he said the Returning Officer failed to present the needed documents due them.

“They started with the coalition and stop when the confusion started so we were unable to sign the documents but the Returning Officers said he reached out to us but we were not around. And we said fine just give us a copy of it whether we signed or not but he refused. Do you think it is with good intention we were refused documents?

“You don’t go to court empty-handed. We go with evidence, we don’t have a summary sheet, declaration form and we don’t know what happened. How do we protest the results in court? Because we don’t have any evidence against the results?” He added.

Some NDC members stormed Techiman South last week, to demand the pink sheets used to declare Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah of the NPP as MP-elect in the Bono Region.

The NDC is accusing the EC of manipulating the figures in favour of the governing NPP.

In a video sighted by GhanaWeb, the Presiding Officer, from whom the documents were being asked, declined, stating that he didn’t have the documents with him.

Some of the NDC executives who stormed the Electoral Commission office included; Johnson Asiedu Nketia, Lawyer Baba Jamal, Collins Dauda, and Lawyer Victor Adawudu.
