The opposition National Democratic Congress has said the party will continue to stage protestations across the country despite its decision to challenge the outcome of the 2020 elections at the Supreme Court.
A statement signed by General Secretary of the party Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said the National Executive Committee of the party has resolved to file a petition at the apex court, adding “The NEC decided that the NDC will contest the results of the rigged elections in the supreme court and other appropriate fora. In addition, the party will continue all legitimate actions, including protestations, to press home its demands for the government of President Akufo-Addo to enforce the rule of law and protect life and property in Ghana and in particular to take all necessary measures to bring to swift justice those responsible for the murders and injuries and destruction of properties before, during and in the aftermath of the general elections”.
Supporters and sympathisers of the NDC have staged demonstrations across the country to register their rejection of the results of the 2020 elections which named President Nana Addo President-elect.
Former President John Dramani Mahama who doubles as flagbearer of the party has vehemently rejected the outcome of the elections which he said was flawed.
Presdient Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was declared winner with a total votes of 6,730,413 votes (51.59 per cent), beating Former President John Mahama, who garnered 6,214,889 votes, representing 47.36 per cent.
