Ghana’s main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress
(NDC), has rejected the presidential and parliamentary election results.
President Nana Akufo-Addo was declared winner of the
December 7 presidential election.
Mahama, who was dissatisfied with the conduct of the
election, had accused Akufo-Addo of using the military to intimidate voters and
overturn the polls in his favour.
“You cannot use the military to try and overturn some of the results in constituencies that we have won. We will resist any attempts to subvert the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people,” Mahama had said at a press conference.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the nation’s
capital, Haruna Iddrisu, NDC’s member of parliament described the results as
“brazen and shameless attack on our democracy”, adding that the party will
appeal the election outcome.
“Overwhelming evidence available makes it impossible for us
to accept this spurious and hurried conclusion”, he said.
“We intend to take decisive and concrete steps, both with
the presidential and parliamentary results, to overturn this brazen and
shameless attack on our democracy”.
Though the December 7 election was adjudged “largely
peaceful” by independent observers, at least five people were killed in the
violence that broke out.
