Spokesperson for the petitioner’s legal team, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong has stated that the announced presidential results later rectified by the Chairperson of Electoral Commission (EC) were never gazetted.

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application by former President John Dramani Mahama, seeking the permission of the court to reopen his case to enable his lawyers to subpoena the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Jean Mensa to appear before the court and testify as a “hostile witness” in the 2020 Presidential Election Petition.
In a ruling today (February 16, 2021), the seven-member panel of the Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling said the petitioner (Mr Mahama) had not given it an inkling of the new evidence he wants to bring to the court and how the evidence would assist the court. The apex Court also added that the petitioner did not also disclose how the evidence would advance the course of his petition.

ROJO and KPESSA more ridiculous than NDC’s election petition 1
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 formally filed a petition at the Supreme Court (SC) to challenge the outcome of the Monday, December 7, 2020 Presidential elections.
The lawsuit followed weeks of street protests, destructions, arsons and public incitement over allegations of voter fraud. The NDC on the back of their voter fraud allegations, through numerous media interviews and press conferences, claimed that, the 2020 General elections were rigged against them but in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which eventually robbed them of their deserving electoral victory.
The 2020 Elections Petition is just a useless one which has only been intentionally, tactically and strategically cooked with packs of deceit to brew tension, distract government activities for about a year, cause the dissatisfaction of Ghanaians towards the Chairperson of Electoral Commission (EC) and NPP,
The Supreme Court, has by a unanimous decision, dismissed an application by lawyers for former President John Dramani Mahama for leave to serve interrogatories for certain answers from the Electoral Commission (EC) with regard to the presidential election petition.
Mr Mahama’s lawyers were seeking permission from the Supreme Court to allow him ask 12 questions that borders on how the Chairperson of the EC, Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa, arrived at the figures she used in declaring President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the winner of the 2020 presidential poll.
It was one of two legal processes the petitioner was expected to file on Monday. The second process was a request to admit facts, wherein the petitioner wants the EC to either admit or deny certain “facts” with regard to what ensued on December 9, 2020; the day Mrs Mensa, who is the returning officer for the presidential poll, declared Akufo-Addo as the President-elect.
