Mahama: I’m unwilling to accept ‘fictionalized’ election results

The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Dramani Mahama says he is unwilling to accept the “fictional” results of the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections declared by the Electoral Commission (EC).

Addressing a press conference Thursday night [December 10, 2020], he accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of manipulating the elections results.

“We will not accept anything short of a declaration of the legitimate results which points to an NDC Parliamentary majority,” Mr Mahama said.

He said there was no “doubt Ghanaians from every region of this great nation of ours, voted for change, and we did so in both the presidential and parliamentary elections. I’m a staunch believer and experiment of democracy, a system of governance that allows the ultimate decision making power to rest in the hands of you, the good people of Ghana.”

Mr Mahama who was publicly speaking for the first time after the Electoral Commission declared the results of the December 7, 2020 elections on Wednesday said: “the sacred verdict of the people must be respected, it must be protected, it has been my  pledge throughout my time of service as a representative to the good people of Ghana.”

“And that is why I stand before you here tonight unwilling to accept the fictionalized results of a flawed election.”
