Ghana’s supreme court on Thursday dismissed the suit by the
National Democratic Congress (NDC), the country’s main opposition party,
challenging the presidential elections.
President Nana Akufo-Addo was declared the 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.
The opposition subsequently headed to court, demanding a
rerun of the election.
Ruling on the case on Thursday, Kwesi Anin Yeboah, chief
justice of Ghana, said the petition lacks merit, upholding Akufo-Addo’s victory
at the polls.
“(The) allegation of vote padding was not proved by credible
evidence… we have therefore no reason to order for a rerun,” Kwesi Anin Yeboah
said.
“We accordingly dismiss the petition as having no merit.”
