The Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama has addressed the nation for the first time since the Electoral Commissioner announced the results of the presidential election.

Although his party, the NDC has held two press briefings after the declaration, Mr Mahama is yet to comment publicly on the matter.

For the NDC, the Electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensa has rigged the results for President Akufo-Addo, thus, will not accept the result.

The Electoral Commission announced President Akufo-Addo as the rightful winner of the December 7 polls on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, despite concerns raised by the opposition National Democratic Congress.

President Akufo-Addo won 6,730,587 (51.302%) of the total votes.

Mr. Mahama came second with 6,213,182 votes representing 47.359%, according to the Electoral Commission.

The NDC Flagbearer also insisted that the NDC had won the Majority in Parliament though the EC’s figures show the New Patriotic Party leading with 137 MP elects to the NDC’s 136, with one constituency outstanding.

“We will not accept anything short of a declaration of the legitimate results which points to an NDC Parliamentary majority,” Mr. Mahama said.
