According to a report that was published by DAILY TRUST on Sunday, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu has reacted after the former president of Ghana, John Mahama won the country’s presidential election held on Saturday.
Briefing newsmen at his residence, the INEC chairman commended Ghana’s electoral process, especially its innovations and political stability as key factors in the smooth conduct of its 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Mahmood Yakubu stated that Ghana learnt a lesson from Nigeria in the area of managing constituency election results.
According to DAILY TRUST, Mahmood Yakubu said;
“The second thing for me is the lesson that Ghana also learnt from Nigeria in the area of managing constituency election results.
“Until the last election in Ghana, all results come to the Electoral Commission’s headquarters in Accra; which is parliamentary and presidential. Although Ghana is not a federal system, they learnt from Nigeria where you have returning officers who announce results for parliamentary elections in the various constituencies”.
