But at a news conference in Accra on Wednesday November 25, the Director of Election of the NDC, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, said declaring election within 24 hours is practically impossible.
He said no one is forcing the EC to declare the election within 24 hours which according to him even goes against the EC’s own announcement some months back, indicating that results of the election would be declared on December 10.
The former Youth and Sports Minister added this will create unnecessary tension in the country asking whether the EC will go ahead to declare the election if results of only six constituencies are submitted to the coalition center.
The party further stressed the EC has consistently failed to consult the parties in taking crucial decisions towards the December elections.

Regarding security arrangements, he said the party’s check has revealed that a number of the security personnel have their names omitted from the special voters list.
