The Electoral Commission of Ghana declared Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the winner of the 2020 presidential elections.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was been re-elected for a second term with 51. 59% of votes, beating out former president John Mahama of the NDC.
Mr Mahama subsequently took on the Electoral Commission and its Chairperson, Madam Jean Adukwei Mensa, to the Supreme Court, for what he described as “voter fraud and irregularities” in the 2020 polls.
The apex court however ruled in favour of the EC and President Akufo-Addo.
Mr Mahama subsequently registered his disagreement with the verdict of the Supreme Court.
Among other things, John Mahama expressed regret that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission did not testify in court despite his applications for her to be interrogated.
He said the conduct of the court and the counsel for the Electoral Commission aided Jean Mensa to evade “accountability” for her work in the 2020 polls.
