Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of being in bed with President Akufo-Addo to keep Techiman Sur’s seat on the side of the PNP.

Condemning the police for allegedly mistreating minority MPs during a protest, Mahama said: “Tuesday was a sad day for Ghana’s democracy when Ghana’s minority MPs were prevented from submitting a petition to the Electoral Commission regarding the recent parliamentary elections in Techiman South “.

Tuesday was a sad day for Ghana’s democracy when minority members of Ghana’s Parliament were prevented from petitioning the Electoral Commission regarding the recent parliamentary elections in Techiman South. But let me congratulate the minority leader and the Caucus for taking a courageous step in defense of the democratic rights of Ghanaians.

“The conduct of the Electoral Commission (EC), with the tacit support of the current president, Nana Akufo-Addo, using security personnel who act capriciously even towards members of Parliament, is not something that anyone could have imagined in our beloved country in the course of our 4th Republic. Clearly, the EC and its president are in collusion with Nana Akufo-Addo to fraudulently maintain Techiman South’s seat on the side of the nuclear power plant.

“This is a clear subversion of the will of the people. I salute all those who have had the courage to call the attention of the EC and the Nana Akufo-Addo administration in this blatant act of trampling on the democratic will of the people. I want to reiterate our challenge to the EC to come out and show Ghanaians their summary of results sheet and pink sheets for the Techiman South constituency. “
