Soldiers were deployed for additional security to complement the National Election Security Task Force.

This was after the Electoral Commission expressed concerns that the National Election Security Task Force did not provide enough security at collation centres.

The NDC is upset with this arrangement and has unsuccessfully sued to stop the Electoral Commission's decision to re-collate the results of some constituencies.

Earlier protest from John Mahama

YEN.com.gh reported that President-elect John Mahama cautioned the Electoral Commission to be fair and consistent in the handling of the declaration of results.

He was remarking on the commission's decision to void the parliamentary results in some constituencies.

Mahama believes the Electoral Commission's insistence on re-collating the results in those constituencies is a departure from previous decisions made under similar circumstances.
