The 2016 Parliamentary candidate for the party, Salifu Iddrisu made the call in a petition submitted to the Electoral Commission on Tuesday.

According to him, the Tamale central constituency Parliamentary election on December 7 was characterized with “serious violations, irregularities and infractions of C.I 94.”

He claims that there were over-voting in some areas, as well as, the destruction of some ballot boxes which marred the process.

Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has threatened to go to court over the same matter after submitting a petition to the EC.

2016 Presidential and Parliamentary Election

PETITION ON THE TAMALE CENTRAL CONSTITUENCY PARLIAMENTARY RESULTS

It has become clear to me as a stakeholder in the stated constituency to petition you as the Returning Officer and the commission for the just ended polls in Tamale Central Constituency. The following are my specific particulars of claims;

Over voting of more than twelve (12) polling stations. Example Manhalia polling station.

Two (2) unknown polling stations called Mallam Fari Mosque. Destruction of some ballot boxes to conceal evidence

Furnish me with all polling station and summary pink sheets as I withdrew imposters purported as my agents.

On the basis of the above, it is evidence that serious violations, irregularities and infractions of C.I 94 occurred during the elections process. This has marred the credibility of polls in the constituency.

I therefore call for a fresh re-run of the entire constituency for the parliamentary to enable electorates chose who they want to represent them in parliament.
