Opposition NDC rejects Election results

Former President John Mahama has said he will fight the “flawed” election results declared by the Electoral Commission(EC).

The main opposition NDC Presidential Candidate has refused to concede defeat citing overwhelming voter fraud that dashed the hopes of clean polls in the 2020 general elections.

“It’s for this reason that my colleagues and I in the NDC will not accept what we know to be a fraudulent outcome of this election,” he noted, adding “and we’ll take all legitimate steps to reverse this travesty of justice,” he told a press conference in the capital, Accra.
