Accra, Jan 9, Ghanadot - The Director of Communications of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hanna Tetteh has stated that the New Patriotic Party's (NPP's) attempted to obtain an injunction against the Electoral Commission (EC) to delay the declaration of the results of the Presidential Elections has proved futile.

She said the presiding Judge in his wisdom however decided that it was important that both the EC and the NDC are also served with the court processes before he would proceed with hearing their application on Saturday the 3rd of January and give a ruling on Monday the 5th of January.

"Therefore as the application has not been granted there is no injunction that would prevent the Electoral Commission from announcing the results of the Presidential Elections as soon as the Elections in the Tain Constituency are concluded and the results announced".

The Communication Director of the NDC revealed that the application filed yesterday in the Fast Track High Court in Accra has nothing to do with the elections in the Tain Constituency and therefore cannot be used as a basis to prevent that election from taking place.

"The NDC wishes to assure its supporters and the good people of Ghana that it is ready to participate in the elections in the Tain Constituency".

She urged all the partyʼs polling agents, and the electorate in the Tain Constituency to hold themselves in readiness to participate in the elections.

According to her, the NDC as a political party will always respect the will of the people and will not resort to using legal procedures to frustrate the peoples will.

"We therefore encourage our supporters to remain calm and wait for the outcome of the results of the elections".
