Many social media handles have crowned the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, winner of the special voting process that commenced on Monday, December 2, 2024.

Claim: “John Mahama, won the Special voting exercise conducted on December 2, 2024.” 

Verdict: False

Explanation:  

The ballots cast during the Special Voting exercise are yet to be counted. The Electoral Commission has explained that the Special Voting ballots will be counted at the various Constituency Collation Centres after the polls close on December 7, 2024. Also, Regulation 23 of the Public Elections Regulations, 2020 (C.I. 127) provides that after the Special Voting exercise, the returning officer shall “ensure that the ballot boxes are kept in safe custody after the poll has closed.”
