General News of Thursday, 10 December 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comElection 2020: Rejected ballots emerge ‘third force’Ballot boxGhana’s elections have always seen a duopoly of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). He polled 105,548 votes, representing 0.805 per cent of the total votes cast. Pre-election predictions had placed GUM as the third strongest party, but comparing the election statistics, Osofo Kyiri Abosom’s party did not actually emerge the third strongest party. The rejected ballots rather fit into the position of being declared the ‘third force’ in Ghana’s multi-party elections. After the 2020 elections, the EC stated that 313,397 presidential election ballots were rejected representing a total of 2.333 per cent of total votes cast.
