The immediate past chairman of the National Peace Council, Most Rev. Emmanuel Asante, says any action that will jeopardise the peace of the country from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not be tolerated.
Incumbent, President Nana Akufo-Addo, was declared the winner of the elections by the country’s Electoral Commission (EC) on Wednesday, December 9, 2020.
Mahama rejected the results of the 2020 elections, describing it as fundamentally flawed. He said Jean Mensa's declaration of the results was a clear violation of the law because it did not follow the rules set out to conduct the elections.
