Accra, Ghana, December 8, 2020//-The former President and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has cautioned the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Electoral Commission that the party will resist every attempt to steal the elections.
Mr Mahama gave this warning when he addressed journalists and some bigwigs of the party at his campaign office in Accra on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.
He also refuted suggestions on social media that he had conceded defeat to the NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Mr Mahama said: “I state emphatically and firmly that I have not congratulated anybody,” Mr Mahama said adding that such claims should be utterly dismissed.
He added that “we will resist any attempt to steal this elections,” adding that the NDC has won majority in Parliament and over 10 regions.
Mr Mahama accused President Akufo-Addo of using the military in an attempt to change results in the Techiman constituency after a scuffle led to the shooting of two people.
He thanked Ghanaians for giving the NDC a winning majority in Parliament.
Ghana which voted on Monday 7, December 2020 is still collating the results of the Parliamentary and Presidential elections.
The Electoral Commission has been postponed the declaration of the results. The governing party insisted that it has secured enough seats to form the next government. This claim has been rejected by the opposition NDC and its flagbearer Mr Mahama.
