Former President Mahama who was the 2020 presidential candidate of the opposition NDC, aside challenging the presidential election results in court, has on several occasions accused the EC and the government of perpetrating fraud in the elections. "The former President has said the EC thumb-printed one million ballot papers for the president of the Republic. In a latest statement reacting to the EC’s call, the National Communications Bureau of the NDC says it has all this while been yearning for transparent investigations into Mr Mahama’s allegations. “The NDC welcomes and accepts the call by the Electoral Commission for transparent investigations into allegations of electoral fraud made by H.E John Dramani Mahama relative to the conduct of the 2020 general elections. According to the NDC, these allegations poses grave danger to Ghana’s democracy hence the need for an independent investigation into the conduct of the 2020 general elections.
