Election Petition: It’s not necessary for Mahama to testify – Ayine LISTEN JAN 29, 2021 Dr. Dominic Ayine, a spokesperson for former President John Dramani Mahama in the Election Petition case says his client cannot be compelled to personally be in the witness box to be cross-examined. He said such suggestions by lawyers for the second respondent, Nana Akufo-Addo is flawed. Speaking at a press briefing after adjournment of today’s [January 29, 2021] proceedings, Dominic Ayine said the petitioner, John Mahama, exercised his right to call a witness to help his case. “It is far from being the case that John Dramani Mahama himself must testify in this matter. He has filed a petition. He is entitled as of right under the law to call witnesses in aid of his case and that is what he has done,” he said.
