The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) says Presidential Election results declared by the Electoral Commission (EC), reflects accurately how citizens voted in December 7 polls.

CODEO at a press briefing on today [December 10, 2020] implored any parties with issues about the presidential results to peacefully resolve these through proper legal channels.

According to the acting chair of the  group, Sheikh Arimiyawo Shaibu, CODEO monitored the election by deploying 1,502 Parallel Voter Tabulation (PVT) Observers across the 275 constituencies in the country’s 16 regions.

Observers who were deployed used a nationally representative random sample of polling stations located in every region and constituency of the country.

Comparing their data collected to the EC's, CODEO appealed to Ghanaians to have confidence in the commission's declaration.

"CODEO appeals to Ghanaians to remain calm, law-abiding and allow the systems to work. CODEO further commends the maturity shown by Ghanaians throughout the voting, counting, and collating processes"  Sheikh Arimiyawo Shaibu said at the press briefing.

"Given that the official result announced by the Electoral Commission for each candidate falls within their respective PVT estimated confidence ranges, CODEO can confidently confirm that its PVT estimates are consistent with the official presidential election results.
