Ghana’s opposition Democratic National Congress announced that they are going to the Supreme Court today for the results of the 2020 presidential elections.
Democrats settle for the court after the party’s National Executive Committee meets to decide the next move after the 2020 election.
NDC leader John Mahama twitter post says “The Democratic National Congress decides to proceed to the Supreme Court to challenge the results of the rigged elections on December 7.”
“While in court, the NDC will continue all legitimate actions, including protests, to demand compliance with the rule of law and the protection of life and property for the good people of Ghana,” he added.
The opposition NDC rejects the 2020 presidential election results that John Mahama describes as “fictitious” and “flawed.”
After a series of protests took place across the country asking the Electoral Commission (EC) to revoke the decision in favor of the party.
Minority NDC members also raid the EC office to petition about some parliamentary results, but cannot do so as the police prevent them from entering the EC offices.
After weeks of protests, the Ghanaian police go to court and secure a ban on all NDC protests for Accra.
After all these developments that emerged after the 2020 elections, NDC brought together the best legal brains who are going to lead the party in court in the hope that the Supreme Court will reverse the election results.
Ghana Election laws allow political parties to challenge election results within 21 days after the results are declared, and the NDC can take the speech on the last day, which is today.
