The Collation of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) has affirmed the presidential results declared by the Electoral Commission (EC).
CODEO said it's parallel tabulation of the results are consistent with the EC's, adding that the NPP and the NDC had their agents fully represented at the polling stations.
“For each candidate the official result closely matched the PVT estimates. In general, the PVT ranking of the presidential candidates based on their share of the votes is largely similar to what was put out by the Electoral Commission. Given that the official results announced by the Electoral Commission for each candidate falls within their respective PVT estimated confident ranges, CODEO can confidently confirm that each PVT estimates are consistent with the official presidential results,” she said.
