The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) and the Civic Forum Initiative (CFI) have joined calls urging the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to resolve its election grievances through legal means.
The NDC has rejected the outcome of the 2020 elections which declared Nana Akufo-Addo as President-elect.
The party has since held a series of demonstrations and press conferences to register their displeasure while demanding an audit of the results.
Speaking at a press conference, a member of the CFI, Angela Dwamena-Aboagye called on the NDC to fall on the Judiciary to have their grievances resolved.
“Legal recourse may be pursued even as peaceful demonstrations are carried out. Therefore we join the voices of the sections of the public to urge the NDC to present their concerns to the court for legal redress.”
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has also announced its intention to head to court to contest the Parliamentary results of some constituencies.
The party said its collated results do not correspond with the figures declared by the Electoral Commission (EC) in some of the constituencies.
Speaking to journalists in Accra, the General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu says the party will seek redress at the court over such anomalies.
The party stressed that it was opting for legal action over protests marches, unlike the NDC which has also been protesting some election results.
“We also disputed some of the parliamentary results but we have not asked our supporters to go on the street to protest these results.”
