The Western Regional Secretary of the party in the region, Charles Bissiw, said the party was shocked when it lost in those constituencies, namely, Ellembelle, Aowin, Suaman, Amenfi Central and Juaboso.
“We are going to court [Tuesday], the legal team will meet. We’ve called for all the pink sheets in Takoradi so we are going to look at them,” he said.
“On 7 of December when the elections were going on, we had our own plans as to the collation of our results which was piloted in Amenfi West, where we got our results by 6:30pm – five hours before the EC got its results, so by 7pm we knew which constituencies we had won,” he told Accra-based Joy FM.
The Western Region Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joe Nelson has, however, dismissed the claims by the NPP.
