Petition Verdict: John Mahama Lost, Not NDC – Koku Anyidoho

Koku Anyidoho, a former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has in a series of tweets urged Ghanaians to dissociate the NDC from John Dramani Mahama’s defeat at the Supreme Court after the 2020 election petition final verdict.

Koku Anyidoho, who is currently serving suspension from the NDC noted that former President John Dramani Mahama contested the results of the 2020 polls as an individual and not on behalf of the entire party.

“People should please remember that it is not the NDC which is in court ooo: it is an individual who is in court!”

“John Manama is NOT the President of the Republic of Ghana. His Excellency President Akufo-Addo is the President of the Republic of Ghana.”

“Let John Mahama fight his own battles and leave the NDC alone to exist,” he wrote.

The 7-member panel of the Court presided by the Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin Yeboah unanimously dismissed the petition brought before it by NDC candidate for the 2020 election, John Mahama.

In an extensive verdict read by Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah, the court was of the opinion that the petitioner failed to disclose how the so-called errors by the EC chair materially affected the declaration.
