Apologize To Ghanaians Over 2020 Election Petition - NPP To Mahama and NDC | Politics

The NPP in a statement signed by its Communications Director, Richard Ahiagbah, said the "conduct of the NDC leadership is not only unpatriotic but also very disgraceful and unconscionable”.

“They virtually asked them to seek redress on the streets because the Electoral Commission (EC) had cheated them, which their supporters also blindly followed, terrorizing innocent Ghanaians, burning markets and destroying private and public property. They also wasted time and resources of the court for months when they knew they had no case. That conduct alone could have plunged the nation into chaos and made nonsense of the enviable reputation of Ghana as the beacon of democracy in Africa,” he said.

"That was not all; the NDC Members of Parliament (MPs) led by Haruna Iddrisu, also hit the street and stormed the EC premises, knowing all along that they had lost the election fair and square. On the strength of the NDC's own confession , the NPP invites Civil Society Organisations, political watchers and indeed all well-meaning Ghanaians to join the NPP in demanding an apology from former President John Mahama and the NDC leadership for this disservice to the country, which risked our democracy”.

"Our country has come a long way in our democratic journey, and as stakeholders, we are all expected to protect and defend this enviable feat which has made Ghana, a shining example to other African countries and the world.

“With their confessed deceit in the 2020 Election Petition, the next time the NDC claims they have been cheated in any election, no one should take their word for it, especially in 2024,” the statement added.
