NDC National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi
Sammy Gyamfi, a national communication officer for the opposition NDC, has said that election commissioner Jean Mensa has set a record for being the only EC to hold an election in which both the winner and the loser claim fraud.
According to him, the fact that both sides are alleging fraud means that the 2020 elections were not credible and should be canceled by the Supreme Court justices.
His comment follows the assertions of New Patriotic Party 2020 Election Campaign Manager Peter Mac Manu that the Election Commission credited NDC standard bearer John Mahama with more votes than he actually got, as MyNewsGh.com first reported previously.
“We believe, and will prove in the Supreme Court, that even John Mahama did not receive the number of votes credited to him. We are going to prove that during the course of the trial, ”Mac Manu is reported to have told Joy News Wednesday night in response to the Election Petition filed by the NDC and its standard bearer.
In response to Mac Manu’s claim, Sammy Gyamfi said that “the 2020 presidential election is the first election in the history of Ghana, and perhaps the world, in which the alleged loser alleges EC fraud in favor of the alleged winner; and the supposed winner alleges an EC fraud in favor of the supposed loser, according to Peter Mac Manu, PNP campaign manager. This says a lot about the credibility of the declared results. “
Previously, Sammy Gyamfi argued that John Mahama is “simply” asking the Supreme Court to invalidate candidate Akufo-Addo’s declaration as the winner of the 2020 presidential elections as unconstitutional and null and void, as candidate Akufo-Addo did not obtain. . more than 50% of the total valid votes according to the statement of the Return Officer, Jean Mensa, must therefore be set aside. “
