NDC’s 2020 Election Petition Was Meant To Malign Our Integrity – EC Jabs1 min read
The Electoral Commission has attacked the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its Communications Director, accusing them of a dogged attack on the credibility of the EC over the years.
The EC in a statement dated June 6, 2023 cited the 2020 election petition filed by John Dramani Mahama as one of the proofs of its allegation against the NDC’s maligning.
“Over the years Sammy Gyamfi and his party have put out false claims aimed at maligning the integrity of the EC.
“This was evident in their petition to the Supreme Court after the 2020 Elections alleging that they had won the Elections. It is well known that they could not provide evidence in Court to support their allegations.
“This current allegation is no different. It is baseless and unfounded and a figment of the imagination of the National Communication Officer. We call on all well meaning Ghanaians to ignore it,” the EC statement read in part.
The statement titled “RE: ELIGIBILITY OF QUALIFIED NPP PARLIAMENTARY ASPIRANT IN THE ASSIN NORTH BY-ELECTION,” was to respond to a recent allegation that the EC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were colluding to give an NPP aspirant an advantage in upcoming by-election in Assin North.
