Election 2020: Ghanaians voted for change and Akufo-Addo must accept that – Mahama

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama says the outcome of the 2020 polls indicate majority of Ghanaians voted against the Akufo-Addo government. 

According to Mr Mahama, the NDC will not accept the results as declared by the electoral commission.

“I stand before you tonight unwilling to accept the fictionalised result of a flawed election. What we witnessed across the country from Monday 7th December 2020 exposed a deliberate plan to manipulate and predetermine the results of the election in favour of the incumbent candidate Nana Akufo-Addo. There is no doubt that every Ghanaian in this country voted for change. We did so both In the presidential and parliamentary elections” Mr. Mahama said at a press conference on Thursday evening.

Mr Mahama further called on the International Community to take interest in happenings in Ghana.

“Ghana belongs to the people of Ghana—all of the people of Ghana. We would like to urge the media, civil society and all election observer missions to be resolute and present a fair and accurate account of what has transpired over this period. We request of the international community to remain engaged in what is happening in Ghana and to take careful note of the current threat that is being waged to our democracy, our freedom, and our way of life. To all NDC members and those who voted for us, I appeal to you not to be intimidated or cowed to submit to a dishonest process in the face of overwhelming evidence that supports the justness of our cause”.
