Results of election 2000 being collated

Ghanaians are anxiously waiting for the official release of the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections held on Thursday.
However, supporters of National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) went on victory parades when votes were counted at some polling stations. At most collating centres, returning officers were still receiving the results, which trickled in.
The Returning Officer of Ga North Constituency, Mr Seth Agyei Gyamera attributed the delay to the unavailability of vehicles to transport the presiding officers to the collating centre at the Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School, Legon.
Some of the presiding officers had to come in taxis while Good Samaritans assisted others by conveying them in their vehicles.
