Former President and the 2020 Presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) , John Dramani Mahama, says but for the actions of the Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court of Ghana, an NDC administration would have been in power today.
Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo was retained as President, following a seven-member panel of the country’s top court Judges’ dismissal of the election petition filed by main opposition leader, John Dramani Mahama.
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the case had no merit.
Former President John Dramani Mahama who contested the 2020 elections on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress, took the Electoral Commission to court seeking to challenge the validity of results and subsequent declaration of President Akufo-Addo as the winner.
Addressing the general public on the last day of his ‘Thank You” tour in Accra, former President Mahama stated that the NDC government would have provided better conditions of living to Ghanaians.
He noted that unemployment continues to plague our country and it is clear this government has no sustainable plan to address it.
“But for the actions of the Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court of Ghana, an NDC administration would have been in place today, and the implementation of our various people-centred policies would have provided you, and all of us, better conditions of living than we see today.

“Unemployment continues to plague our country and it is clear this government has no sustainable plan to address it. The botched NABCO experiment has proven not to be the pathway and the means to an end. We need to come together and face youth unemployment head-on,” John Dramani Mahama added.
He added that the NDC’s one million (Edwumapa) Jobs Creation Plan, the free TVET and National Apprenticeship Programme as contained in the party’s manifesto is still relevant and available for the NPP government to draw on for implementation.
