Mahama files petition to challenge legitimacy of election 2020 presidential results

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has filed a petition to challenge the Presidential results of the just-ended 2020 general elections as declared by the Electoral Commission.

The lawyers of the former President arrived earlier today at the Supreme Court to file the petition which challenges the legitimacy of President-elect Akufo-Addo as president of the country.

The decision to finally petition the apex court follows nearly two weeks of sustained protests across the country by NDC sympathisers.According to the lawyers, the Presidential results as declared by the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa is flawed and ‘doesn’t represent the will of the people.’
