The findings in this report are based on bi-weekly field reports submitted by CODEO’s Long Term Observers (CODEO LTOs) deployed in 134 out of the 138 constituencies randomly selected from the 10 regions of Ghana. Guided by a checklist, CODEO’s LTOs observe the general political environment, including election-related preparatory activities by state and non-state actors, civic/voter education programs as well as political party campaign activities. The LTOs also observe the conduct of the security agencies, electoral irregularities and pre-election disputes adjudication. Summary of Findings: The Electoral Commission (EC) is undertaking key preparatory activities ahead of the elections across the constituencies. Radio continues to remain the main medium for civic/voter education in the constituencies. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) continue to remain the most visible parties with regard to election campaigning activities across the constituencies under observation. Four key policy priority issues: education, unemployment, health and corruption dominated political party campaigns in the constituencies. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) leads as the party that featured women and Persons with Disability (PWDs) as the leading speakers on their campaign platform followed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and Progressive People’s Party (PPP).

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CODEO’S STATEMENT ON THE OFFICIAL RESULTS OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS CONTACT Mr. Albert Arhin CODEO National Coordinator Phone: +233 (0) 24 474 6791 / (0) 20 822 1068 Secretariat: +233 (0) 244 350 266/ 0277 744 777 Email: [email protected] Website: www.codeoghana.org Thursday, December 10, 2020 Accra, Ghana Introduction On Sunday, December 6, 2020, the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO), in its press statement, communicated to the nation its intention to once again employ the Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) methodology to observe the 2020 presidential election, just as it did in 2008, 2012 and 2016. The PVT methodology is a reliable tool available to independent and non-partisan citizens’ election observer groups around the world for verifying the accuracy of official presidential elections results. In keeping with our protocols, which is that CODEO releases its PVT findings after the official results have been announced by the Electoral Commission, CODEO is here to release its PVT estimates for the presidential election. CODEO’s PVT estimates for the presidential results form part of its comprehensive election observation activities for the 2020 elections that covered voter registration exercise, pre-election environment observation for three months (September to November), and election day observation. The PVT Methodology The PVT is an advanced and scientific election observation technique that combines well-established statistical principles and Information Communication Technology (ICT) to observe elections. The PVT involves deploying trained accredited Observers to a nationally representative random sample of polling stations. On Election-Day, PVT Observers observe the entire polling process and transmit reports about the conduct of the polls and the official vote count in real-time to a central election observation database, using the Short Message Service (SMS) platform.

Our main concern was with the health and well-being of our fledgling democracy, peace and orderly development of our nation. In that regard, we observe with pride that Ghanaians turned out in their numbers to carry out their civic responsibilities in peace and orderliness as they have always done since before independence. We wish to extend our hearty congratulations to the good people of Ghana for the level of political maturity and civility exhibited. However. the best efforts put forth by the general electorate was seriously marred by a host of irregularities, infractions, intimidation and fraud perpetrated by agents of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
