New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Election 2020 campaign manager, Mr Peter Mac Manu, has asked the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, to be truthful to his supporters and let them know that he lost the 2020 presidential election.
He noted the if the NDC disagrees with the collated and declared results of the EC, it should proceed to a court of competent jurisdiction and seek redress.
Speaking at a press conference at the NPP head office at Kokomlemle on Wednesday 23rd December 2020, NPP’s Election 2020 campaign manager, Mr Peter Mac Manu, explained that the NPP does not know what will happen Mahama continues to display such carelessness and irresponsibility in not wanting to go to the appropriate forum to seek redress but continue to fight for his battles from the streets.
“We call on Mahama to tell his supporters the truth that he lost the election. It is okay if he wants to court the support of his party for another try in 2024, but it is not okay to endanger the lives of other people’s children and by that endanger the security of our country.
“This far the security agencies have been professional in their handling of the provocations that Mahama has encouraged his supporters to foment. We cannot, however, be sure of what will happen if he continues to display such carelessness and irresponsibility in not wanting to go to the appropriate forum to seek redress but continue to fight for his battles from the streets,” he said.
Commenting on the NDC’s claim that it had won the Techiman South parliamentary seat, Manu explained that it was obvious to the Ghanaian people that the NDC is not ready to be put to strict proof, and that all they want to do is court public disaffection for the Electoral Commission (EC) and by that reduce the legitimacy of the NPP victory in the eyes of well-meaning Ghanaians.
“The NDC initially said there was no collation in Techiman South. If there was no collation how can there be re-collation?” Mr Manu asked, and said: “Yesterday, the Minority in Parliament promised to display all 265 pink sheets from Techiman South but in the end they subjected viewers to fabricated images of an excel spreadsheet, not collated sheets of the EC,” he added.
