Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South Constituency in the Upper East Region, Dr. Clement Abass Apaak, has asserted that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) did not win the 2020 general elections but his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) respected the verdict of the Supreme Court.
Ghana’s Supreme Court delivered its verdict on the December 2020 presidential election results, which were challenged by the opposition NDC.
The petition had been brought by the NDC’s candidate, Former President John Mahama, who called the December 2020 polls “fraudulent”.
The Electoral Commission, party to the suit, said that President Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP won 51.59% of the votes and Former President Mahama took 47.36%.
But in an interview on A1 Radio’s Daybreak Upper East show on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, Dr. Apaak said everything points to the fact that the elections were rigged for the governing party.
“They know they didn’t win the last election. I know they didn’t win the last election. Supreme Court has made a pronouncement and we have respected that but we know they didn’t win, they know they didn’t win; and so, if you struggled to win an election and failed and had to deploy ways and means. We have told you that this election was rigged; we have made that case”. He remarked.
