The Democratic National Congress (NDC) says it will begin its legal challenge to the results of the December 7 elections on Wednesday, December 30.
The date is the last day of the 21 days stipulated by electoral laws for any aggrieved party in the election to file a legal challenge to the process.
A member of the opposition party’s legal team, Rockson Nelson Defeamekpor told Newsfile host Samson Lardy Anyenini that the party will challenge presidential and parliamentary elections.
“We will go to court. We have made it clear … Certainly, by Wednesday, all these matters will be brought before the court, “he said Saturday.
Mr. Dafeamekpor also noted that the Electoral Commission on several occasions disobeyed the laws governing the conduct of elections.
This, according to him, is what motivates the NDC to seek legal redress to ensure that acceptable ways of conducting Ghana’s electoral process are adhered to.
“If the EC is willing to comply with the law that will put an end to the matter. It is not about declaring the seat in our [NDC] Please, that’s not what we’re saying.
“They were saying [EC should] comply with the law. If you comply with the law and we are victorious, that’s fine. But he does not comply with the law and announces another candidate as the winner. No. “He is stressed.
For almost two weeks, supporters and supporters of the NDC have organized numerous street protests following the declaration of Nana Akufo-Addo as president-elect in the recently concluded elections.
NDC presidential candidate John Mahama described the EC verdict as fictitious in favor of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Since then, his position has been strongly backed by NDC supporters who have taken to the streets to demand that the ad be struck down.
