The Supreme Court has quashed results in the re-collation of votes in Tema Central, Ablekuma North, Techiman South, and Okaikwei Central in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
The apex court added that the order did not affect the results of Ahafo Ano North and Nsawam Adoagyiri.
According to the court, the trial judge violated the NDC Parliamentary Candidates’ right to a hearing when they applied to the High Court.
This order goes directly against the controversial re-collation undertaken by the Electoral Commission and subsequent declarations for the said constituencies.

The now-quashed December 20 ruling had directed the EC to re-collate results in nine constituencies where irregularities were alleged.
The decision followed a mandamus application filed by New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidates, who argued that discrepancies in the tabulated results required verification to uphold transparency and accuracy.
The EC, has since complied with the order in seven constituencies, but the re-collation for Dome-Kwabenya and Ablekuma North remains incomplete.
