The Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) has called on former President John Mahama, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to render an unqualified apology to the Electoral Commission, Supreme Court and the people of Ghana for the 2020 Election Petition they initiated.
According to the opposition party, the obvious was seen when Mr Asiedu Nketia, the star witness in the 2020 Election Petition for the petitioners, failed to give “proper” and “convincing” evidence to support the NDC’s collated election figures.
The General Secretary of the NDC has been identified as the speaker in an audio circulating on various media platforms confirming how the party could not collate results of the 2020 elections but went to the Supreme Court.
In a press statement issued by the Liberal Party of Ghana in Accra on Wednesday, December, 2022, the LPG Party states: “Though the confession has come quite late, it is an attestation, of the malice the NDC party has against the revered democratic institutions of state such as, the Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court of Ghana.
“The Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) considers this irresponsible act by John Dramani Mahama, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and the NDC not only a threat to our fragile democracy but a financial loss to the state. As such, they should render an unqualified apology to the Electoral Commission, Supreme Court and the people of Ghana especially the vulnerable NDC supporters who were misled by John Mahama and Asiedu Nketia to risk their lives in violent protest with some sustaining injuries and others losing their lives.”
“Our noble and delicate Electoral Commission of Ghana and especially its leadership was bastardised with all sorts of unsubstantiated allegations by the NDC party just to tarnish the hard won reputation of the EC and denigrate the persona of Madam Jean Adukwei Mensah the chairperson of the commission.”
LPG further calls on all well-meaning Ghanaians to be very circumspect and exercise restraint when dealing with the NDC and their leaders.
Ghanaians should continue to have trust in state institutions and safeguard them from any ill attacks.
