Likewise, the flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama has refused to accept the results of the polls as declared by the Jean Mensa led Electoral Commission.
The party has filed a petition with the Supreme Court in an attempt to overturn both the presidential and parliamentary election results to reflect what in their opinion is the will of the Ghanaian people.
However, a member of the legal team of the NDC and former Deputy Justice Minister in Mahama’s administration, Dr Dominic Ayine, ironically said that the NDC does not have evidence to prove that its candidate won.
“We never said that we won the presidential election,” he said in an interview on GHONE TV on Thursday, December 31, 2020.
Meanwhile, Akufo Addo was sworn-in as President for his second term in office on January 7, 2021.
