The NDC candidate in the just-ended 2020 Elections, John Mahama, has made his first comment after the EC declared his opponent, Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) the winner.

Earlier, there had been reports from that constituency that some irregularities were going on against the NDC.

The supporters of the party moved to "protect" the ballot only to be treated in this way.

Meanwhile, Mahama has lost the 2020 Elections to his fiercest political rival, Akufo-Addo of the NPP.

He polled a total of 6,214,889 votes, representing 47.36%, while Akufo-Addo won with 6,730,413 votes, representing 51.59% of total vote cast.

While he is yet to make an official response to the EC's declaration, Mahama had earlier absented himself from a meeting with the National Peace Council when they called on the leaders of the NDC.
