As indicated by the incumbent MP, just articulations coming from the EC “must be respected and preserved.”

“We do not expect any early illegitimate declaration of results in any constituency across Ghana,” he said.

The Legislator for Tamale South has likewise raised worries with the substantial security presence in the Tamale territory and vowed to face any security workforce who attempt to threaten citizens.

“This election, as I have indicated, must be free from fear and free from intimidation. If they [soldiers] are here to protect voters, to protect the peace and security of this election – they are welcome. And if they are here to intimidate us, we will match them to it because the power of our votes is as important as the power of their guns,” he said to the media after casting his ballot.
