Social media card claiming NPP victory with 51.12% lead ahead of EC results is false

Claim: A TikTok account, “NPP Projects” (currently banned), shared a fact card falsely declaring the New Patriotic Party (NPP) winners of the 2024 elections with 51.12% votes ahead of the Electoral Commission’s official announcement.

Explanation

The Electoral Commission (EC) has not yet announced the official results, as vote collation is still underway. No credible polls or provisional results seen by the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition have projected the NPP ahead of the NDC in the ongoing count. The false projection appears to be misinformation aimed at misleading the public. While the Electoral Commission is yet to declare the results of the presidential election, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party candidate, has conceded defeat, further discrediting the claim.
