Tepa chaos: What we know so far

Ghana Fact-checking Coalition
December 10, 2024
SHARE

Claim: A WhatsApp message claims, “Soldiers sent by the NPP have invaded Tepa and have shot a comrade as the EC tries to change the results.”

Source: WhatsApp 

Explanation: Here is what we know so far

  1. Sources available to the Coalition in Tepa reported a misunderstanding broke out during the counting of votes after polls on December 7, 2024. According to the report, at the initial stage of the counting, the National Democratic Congress appeared to be winning, until results from the special voting, which happened on December 3, 2024, were added. 
  1. Our source indicated the results from special voting began going in favour of the New Patriotic Party, which led to disagreement between members of the two parties, as members of the NDC believed they had been shortchanged. 
  1. The members of NDC went on a rampage throughout the night of December 7 leading to a halt in the counting of votes cast. However, calm was restored in the early hours of December 8 until the late afternoon when chaos broke out again after the invasion of people identified as thugs. Soldiers were then deployed to the community.
  1. In the midst of the chaos, an unidentified person was shot dead.
