General News of Saturday, 10 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comGhana’s Electoral Commission has for the first time commented on the Supreme Court’s ruling on the 2020 election petition that was brought against it (EC) by the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, NDC. John Dramani Mahama’s quest to have the results of the elections overturned was rendered fruitless as the Supreme Court found no merit in his case. The seven-member Supreme Court panel ruled unanimously that while John Dramani Mahama had legitimate concerns about the results he could not adduce evidence to validate the claims he was making against the EC. Dr Bossman Asare, the deputy chairman of the Electoral Commission told Asaase FM that the ruling of the court is a vindication of their work. The [Supreme] Court gave us an international vindication, so for us life is just normal; we have a lot of things, review of the election et cetera that we must engage in,” he said.
