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.

Issa Mahmoud Ali, the communications director of the opposition NDC in the Techiman South Constituency has fingered elements of his own party for various nefarious activities that culminated in the Party’s defeat in the 2020 parliamentary elections.

Issa Mahmoud singled out the party’s director of elections in the 2020 elections, one Abdul Hameed Zakaria of contributing significantly to the party’s downfall in the 2020 elections.

In a report filed by MyNewsGh, Issa Mahmoud accuses Abdul Hameed of forging signatures on the nomination forms of the parliamentary candidate, Christopher Beyere.

Among other allegations, Mahmoud also accused his election director of masterminding the violence that claimed two lives at the Techiman South Collation Center.

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.
