National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader, John Mahama, 62, has rejected results of Ghana’s December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections, citing “litany of irregularities and blatant rigging” in favour of President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The Electoral Commission (EC) declared Akufo-Addo, 76, re-elected with 51.59 per cent of the ballots against Mahama’s 47.36 per cent. The umpire later revised the figure of valid votes cast, but insisted the revision and the voided scores of Techiman South constituency, where the exercise was marred by violence, would not affect the overall outcome.
But the opposition party is contesting the figures and calling for a re-run, because from its calculations, none of the 12 candidates allegedly met the constitutional requirements to be declared winner.
