Mr. Boadu addressing the press conference
The ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP) has declared that nothing will change the outcome of the 2020 elections.
He said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had no case regretting the results declared by the Electoral Commission (EC), and said the party should use the appropriate channels to seek redress.
At a press conference held yesterday at the party’s Accra headquarters, the party’s general secretary, John Boadu, urged the NDC to release its figures, leading the party to think that it had won the 2020 election.
He said it was surprising that the NDC members were now crying over being misled by the EC, knowing full well that the party lost the election by a wide margin.
He wondered how former President John Dramani Mahama would challenge the results of an election he had lost by more than 500,000 votes, saying “no amount of whining can change the results.”
Mahama acting
He said Mahama had not intentionally admitted defeat to win the sympathy of NDC supporters to retain him as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 elections.
He said that Mahama had declared from the beginning his intention to reject the outcome of the elections.
“He has contested the integrity of the EC since the beginning of the year and signaled his unwillingness to accept the survey results. So we all know that he is playing according to a script, “he said.
Boadu recalled that in 2016, Mahama said it was elementary politics and an old trick for people who knew they were losing an election to try to challenge the integrity of the EC.
“In 2012, we also felt cheated. Our presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, told his supporters that he did not want a drop of Ghanaian blood to be spilled to make him president. He said he would take his case to court. And he did exactly that.
Even when the courts made a ruling and he disagreed with the court’s verdict, he accepted it with grace and dignity, and he rallied to win in 2016. Therefore, we urge Mahama to do the right thing by going to the courts, “he said. set.
Parliament
Mr. Boadu said that the NPP as a party was willing to work with the NDC side in Parliament in the interest of the people of Ghana.
“We will work with the Minority for the interest of the country,” he said, adding that the PNP has already started its government and would not allow the NDC’s complaints to distract its activities.
