"This is just a suggestion though. You know better.
"I wish you all the best, " he wrote.

A-Plus' advice comes after former President John Mahama officially rejected the results of the 2020 presidential election.

According to Mahama, there were violations of the law governing the election and thus makes EC's declaration tantamount to illegality.

The NDC presidential candidate while addressing the media on Thursday, December 10, also listed a number of concerns he had about the general conduct of the election.

Meanwhile, The Electoral Commission (EC) has discounted speculation on social media that its chairperson, Jean Mensa, has travelled abroad.

In a statement released on Friday, December 11, 2020, the EC described the information making rounds as fake.

The statement emphasised that Mrs Mensa and all other commissioners were at post discharging their duties.
