We’re shocked Mahama presented error-ridden petition after criticizing EC’s errors – NPP
The New Patriotic Party has expressed worry over the mistakes that characterizes the National Democratic Congress’ petition to the Supreme Court challenging the 2020 results.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has filed a petition to challenge the 2020 results declaration.
The party is seeking an injunction that will prevent Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo from holding himself as President elect and also an order for a rerun of theelection.
But the petition which found itself on social media is riddled with avoidable errors which has generated several discussions on social media considering the fact that the NDC is going to court over similar errors.
In a statement reacting to the petition, the NPP said “It is quite curious that John Dramani Mahama, the NDC flagbearer and Petitioner, who grounds his Petition on supposed errors made by the Electoral Commission, has himself submitted a Petition fraught with errors, including requesting a run-off between himself and the Electoral Commission. It is also unfortunate that even after filing the Petition in court, the NDC led by John Dramani Mahama continues to incite supporters to pour onto the streets to cause chaos and anarchy”.
The party assured its supporters to remain calm as their response will be a prove that the NDC’s petition is an empty one.
“Our response will show that the NDC has presented no material evidence of value in Court to support its blatantly false claims regarding the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. They lied to their supporters that they had won and started referring to John Dramani Mahama falsely as the President-Elect. Now they have backtracked, settling futilely for a run-off which they themselves know will not happen. They have attempted and continue to use lies, threats, violence, and intimidation to seek forlornly to overrule the manifest will of the people as freely expressed on 7th December, 2020. We are absolutely confident that the facts and figures as presented in court, even by the NDC, will very easily, in a transparent and indisputable manner, reaffirm the expressed will of the voting public that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won the 2020 Presidential Election “one touch” and convincingly so.”
