2020 Polls: Mahama Makes Shocking Claim; Says Soldiers With Guns Forced EC To Declare Results For NPP
Former President, John Dramani Mahama has claimed deployment of military personnel to collation centres forced some electoral officers to declare results in favour of the governing New Patriotic Party.
Speaking on Global FM in Ho during his “Thank You” tour to the Volta Region, Mr Mahama said the NDC still have hopes of winning the 2024 elections despite the machinations in the 2020 polls.
“But for a lot of scheming that took place, the NDC would have won the election. I do believe that we did win, but a lot of things went untoward and so even though power did not come into our hands, it does not mean we do not have the prospects of winning.”
“We won the majority in Parliament, but you saw what happened on the day. Many of the polling centres injected soldiers and forced the electoral officers to pronounce results that were not real.”
