Wait for official results - EC

The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, has assured Ghanaians that as soon as the election results of the various constituencies are received and authenticated by the Commission, they will be made public. He has, therefore, appealed to everyone to remain calm.

He said it was premature at this time for anybody to be talking about delays in releasing results or about a winner of the election.

"I sincerely hope that politicians, journalists and commentators will make mature and informed statements in relation to the election results," he appealed in press release yesterday.

The release said "it will be unprincipled for any person to regard the same action to be imprudent when it is done by someone else but alright when it is done by himself or herself."
