How Can We Go To Court When That ‘tyrant’ Is Blocking Our Means? - Asiedu Nketia

The General Secretary of the NDC Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said the means by which the party will go to court to challenge the results of the presidential and parliament elections are being blocked. Asiedu said in an interview that the party is being denied access to some pink sheets, the primary documents upon which

the election results were declared to enable them put their case together for a possible court action. We have to secure the means of going to court. Even the means of going to court and having the chance of winning is still being blocked by the tyrant. So why do you want to go to court  when the person who knows that when you

go to court you will need ABC and so we are blocking your means of getting there so that you cannot go to court. And then sycophants will be sitting outside and shouting go to court. If we have to go to court about Techiman we can only go to challenge the results of Techiman as declared. We are being denied even the

opportunity of sighting what results were declared when the law gives us an entitlement to a copy, he said. The main opposition party has been urged to resort the court to address its disagreements with the results of the elections. For instance, US Ambassador Stephanie S. Sullivan met with former President John Dramani

Mahama who was the presidential candidate for the NDC barely a week after he rejected results. The US Ambassador also met Mr Mahama’s running mate in the elections, Jane Opoku Agyemang at the meeting on Thursday, December 17. The US envoy is said to have urged not only the 2020 Presidential Candidate and Vice Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic

Congress NDC but also all political parties to pursue legal channels for electoral disputes and to preserve the peace in Ghana. Since Mahama’s official rejection of the election results, which declared incumbent Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo as winner, his supporters have held scattered demonstrations across the country. Thursday after some group of supporters demonstrated near the headquarters of the Electoral Commission EC and 26 of them were also arrested by the police.
