Tema Central re-collation stalls as Returning Officer cites threats on his family

The parliamentary re-collation for Tema Central was abruptly halted when Returning Officer Mr. Brobbey declined to proceed, citing threats to his personal safety and family.

He insisted on the presence of all political party representatives to ensure transparency and compromise.

The chaos erupted after NDC parliamentary candidate Ebi Bright demanded a full re-collation of votes from all polling stations, per a court order, rather than resuming from the previous point.

Tensions escalated in the collation room, leading to a walkout by Bright and Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor in protest.

Amidst heavy security, the Electoral Commission faces mounting challenges to maintain order in Tema Central, even as other constituencies, like Obuasi East, finalize their results under similar scrutiny.
