PNC calls for re-rerun of Tamale Central parliamentary election
The People’s National Convention (PNC) has
called for fresh Parliamentary election in Tamale
Central constituency of the Northern Region.

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


He argued that the Tamale Central constituency
Parliamentary election on December 7 was
characterized with irregularities including over
voting and results from unknown polling stations.


The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is also heading to
court over the same matter after submitting a
petition to the EC.

Below is the petition:

The Returning Officer Tamale Central Constituency
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.
