Just In: NDC goes to Supreme Court to challenge 2020 election results

Ghana’s biggest opposition party – the National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it will formally file a petition at the Supreme Court to challenge the outcome of the December 7, 2020, general elections.

The yet to be filed suit follows what the party believes is a manifestation of voter fraud and irregularities in the just-ended polls.

The party in a statement signed by the General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia said the move is in line with the party’s “commitment to the upholding of the Constitution and respect for human rights.”
