National Youth Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B has admonished lawyers for former president John Dramani Mahama in the ongoing 2020 Presidential elections petition to exhibit some level of seriousness and stop the delay tactics.

While speaking to Nana Yaw Kesseh on Peace FM’s ”Kokrokoo”, he commended laywers for President Akufo-Addo, praising them for showing commitment and planning in advance for the case in court.

”We have prepared ourselves. We know that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won the elections legitimately. We did our job well. We have evidence to show before the court that we won the elections…I salute our legal team and their good work”, he was quoted by peacefmonline.

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.”

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.
