NDC Goes After Carlos Ahenkorah’s Tema West Seat While Awaiting Parliament Decision On Him
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) have begun processes to challenge the legitimacy of Carlos Ahenkorah’s election as Member of Parliament for Tema West, while also awaiting decision by the leadership of Parliament to punish him or otherwise for his brazen act of snatching ballot papers during the election of a Speaker of Parliament.
The NDC has filed a petition at the Tema High Court seeking a recount of the ballot papers.
Speaking to Ghanaweb, member of the NDC’s legal team, Abraham Amaliba noted that the NDC after auditing polling station results noticed that the numbers do not add up and that their candidate should have been declared the winner of the elections.
“We found a number of issues after our audit. We identified issues of over-voting and vote padding. The vote padding was achieved using the military to intimidate the electoral officers so, in the confusion, they succeeded in padding the votes for the benefit of Carlos Ahenkorah. So basically it is about vote padding and over-voting,” he said.

One Would Expect Mahama To Be In A Hurry To Get The Runoff He Badly Needs – Gabby
New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart, Gabby Otchere Darko has said that anyone would expect National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama to be in a hurry with his election petition in order to take Akufo-Addo off the Presidency and get his runoff.
This comes after the Supreme Court ordered Mr Mahama to file his witness statements and arguments in response to the preliminary objection raised by the respondents latest by Wednesday, January 27.
“One would expect that John Mahama would rather be in a hurry to get an “illegitimate” president thrown out 4 the runoff done quickly for him to take his ‘rightful’ throne. Election petition: Justices take on Mahama’s team for not filing witness statements,” Gabby tweeted on Tuesday.

Supreme Court Orders Mahama’s Lawyers To Comply With Their Orders By Wednesday Or Face Sanctions
The Seven-member Supreme Court panel hearing the 2020 Election Petition has ordered the legal team of John Mahama to comply with its orders and file their witness statements by close of Wednesday.
The Court also warned that failure to comply with their order will attract sanctions as imposed by law.
The caution follows an explanation by Counsel for the Petitioner, Tony Lithur that they had opted not to file witness statements as ordered by the court due to pending applications earlier filed.
According to him, Mr. Mahama has filed a stay of proceedings along with an application for the apex court to review the dismissal of his permission to serve the EC some 12 interrogatories.
However, the court insisted that it’s earlier order must be complied with, failure of which can result in the dismissal of the petition.
