General News of Wednesday, 31 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comJohnson Asiedu Nketia, the General Secretary of the NDC has described the 2020 Election Petition where John Dramani Mahama was challenging the election of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the December 7 general elections, as a mistrial. The way the court went about this thing, everybody knew that it was a mistrial, there was no proper trial there,” Asiedu Nketia said on Citi TV. He added that he is silent after the election petition because his lawyers have not given him the mandate to speak. “I will speak on the court matter but take it home that I said that what happened at the Supreme Court was a mistrial,” he stressed. The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision threw out the Election Petition challenging Akufo-Addo’s legitimacy as the President-elect in the December 7, 2020, elections on the grounds that the petition lacks merit.
