- WAEC releases all withheld 2024 WASSCE results
- Release follows Accra High Court order on February 1
- Over 10,000 results withheld due to suspected malpractices now available
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the full release of all previously withheld results from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
This development was disclosed by the Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, during an interview with Accra-based Citi News.
Kapi confirmed that there are currently no outstanding results for the 2024 WASSCE candidates. “As we promised, we kept to our promises. So by the close of February 28, we had uploaded all the results of the candidates whose results had been withheld,” he said.
The decision follows a court order that mandated the release of the withheld results. “The court had ordered that we should release the results of those candidates. And so we’ve gone ahead with all the results. So we don’t have any outstanding results as far as those exams are concerned,” he added.
Despite the release, Kapi acknowledged that complaints may still arise in the coming days. “Well, the 28th was a Friday, and so we assume that people are still waiting until the beginning of the week to begin calling the office and registering complaints. But, again, I think that whatever we have put out there is a true reflection of the performance of the candidates in the examination,” he noted.
WAEC had withheld more than 10,000 results following the provisional release in December 2024, due to suspicions of malpractices. The matter was investigated, and legal action was taken against WAEC. Following a ruling from the Accra High Court on February 1, 2025, which ordered the release of the results, threats of protests had also emerged.
