NDC Gives Up Parliamentary Majority To NPP
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has conceded the the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will be forming the Majority in Ghana’s next Parliament while they form the Minority by a thin difference.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Newsnight program on Thursday after the NDC was declared winners of the outstanding Sene West Parliamentary elections, member of the NDC legal team, Baba Jamal noted that if the results declared by the Electoral Commission are anything to go by, then the NPP will form the Majority.
The NDC yesterday after the counting of the snatched ballot box in Sene West won and moved from 136 to 137 members in Parliament while the NPP have 137 with one independent candidate who has declared he’ll be joining the NPP.
Jamal told Evans Mensah on Newsnight, “If you want to go by what the electoral commission is saying, then we have 137 and they have 137. We have heard the declaration by the independent candidate that he is going with them, the NPP. That does not deter us from holding the government accountable to do the right thing in parliament.”
“I agree with him. On simple majority, yes they have the majority in parliament.”

‘Sick Mind’ Anyidoho Who Could Not Even Bury His Daughter Is Plotting To Kill His Own Wife – Dzifa Gunu Wildly Alleges
Activist for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dzifa Gunu has claimed that the party’s former Deputy General Secretary Koku Anyidoho failed to show up at his deceased daughter’s burial service and is even making attempts to kill his wife.
Although without evidence to these claims, many believe these allegations are attempts by some staunch members of the NDC to get back at Anyidoho for his unprovoked attacks on the party’s leadership.
Dzifa Gunu wrote: “When you [Koku] lost your daughter, Sitsofe in that fatal accident on the 7th of November, 2020, I felt sad for you, because it is said that parents look after their children to be responsible adults so their children will look after them and if God permits the children will bury their aged parents. But, you, Koku Anyidoho could not even go bury your own daughter, you disappeared and was no where close during her burial but only went to her grave side later, took pictures and splashed on social media…. you are very heartless and evil, your evil deeds will confront you on this earth and I know you are already facing judgment here”.
He further claimed, “Indeed, it is only men with “Sick minds” who will abandon their families for months and plot to kill the mother of their kids.”

Election 2020
EC Lawyers File Preliminary Legal Objection – Claims Akufo-Addo Won The Election Even If Mahama’s Own Figures In His Petition Are Used
The Electoral Commission says the petition filed by 2020 NDC Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama is based on “extreme speculations” and an actual waste of the court’s time.
The Commission explains these speculations thrive on the existence of two wrong assumptions.
This is the decision by Mr. Mahama to hold on to the wrong figure mentioned as valid votes (13,434,574) even though the right figure is known.
The other assumption the EC says is the flagbearer’s determination to strangely assign all the Techiman South votes to himself even though the actual results were known to him at the time he decided to file the petition.
The EC however insists the Chairperson’s inadvertent mistake made during declaration did not change how Ghanaians voted on December 7.
It states that the 13,434,574 mentioned as total valid votes is an error.
Nana Akufo-Addo, the EC says obtained 6,730,413 representing more than 50% of the 13,121,111 valid votes (specifically 51.295%).
The EC further argues in this document that the petition fails to disclose how the alleged vote padding influenced the outcome of the elections.
The EC concludes that the petition does not merit a trial and is a total waste of the court’s time.
