The NDC filed a petition at the Supreme Court to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential and parliamentary polls.

The lawsuit follows weeks of countless street protests over alleged voter fraud and irregularities in the just-ended 2020 elections.

Reacting to the petition, the NPP’s director of communication, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, said the legal team of the president is ready to expose the emptiness of the petition and the continuous denial that Akufo-Addo indeed won the election “without any iota of doubt.”

Meanwhile, John Dramani Mahama says his refusal to concede defeat in the 2020 polls was borne out of principle rather than an insatiable desire for power.

Addressing Ghanaians on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, after officially filing a petition to challenge the outcome of the elections at the Supreme Court, Mahama said he knew what it was to concede.
