The National Democratic Congress flagbearer, John Mahama, has refused to accept President Akufo-Addo’s election victory.
He described the election results announced by the Electoral Commission as “fictionalised.”
“I stand before you tonight unwilling to accept the fictionalised result of a flawed election,” Mr. Mahama said at a press conference on Thursday evening.
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.
