President Akufo-Addo’s cousin, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has urged the leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama to admit defeat in the December 7 elections if he has no evidence to go to court for alleged accusations of manipulation at the polls. .

According to Otchere-Darko, the real contest between the New Patriotic Party (PNP) and the NDC has to do with the number of seats each party has won in parliament and Mahama knows it.

“Dear John, if you don’t have the evidence to go to court, please grant now. Stop fooling your followers now before serious damage is done. The real contest on both sides is in the parliamentarians. You know it, ”Otchere-Darko posted on Facebook.

The council comes after the decision of Mahama and the NDC to reject the election results announced by the Election Commission.

According to the NDC and Mr. Mahama, the election was rigged for incumbent President Nana Akufo-Addo.

NDC supporters have come out calling on EC President Jean Mensa to declare Mr. Mahama the winner and also to resign.

On Thursday, December 17, 2020, a demonstration near the EC headquarters turned violent, forcing the police to disperse the crowd with tear gas while protesters threw stones at the security offices.

Many civil society organizations, religious and traditional leaders have advised Mahama and the NDC to seek redress in court if they have a problem with the election results, but the NDC says it wants a forensic audit of the figures released by the EC. .
