President Nana Akufo-Addo has addressed the Supreme Court’s Ruling that affirmed his second term victory.
Delivering the first State of the Nation Address (SONA) for his second term of Office on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, the President praised the Court’s Ruling.
According to him, his second term victory was affirmed by the Court “in a well reasoned” and “excellent” ruling.
He stated that his victory in the December 7, 2020 presidential elections was “unanimously” upheld by the Apex Court.
The Supreme Court, the highest court of jurisdiction in Ghana, ruled on Thursday, March 4, 2021, that indeed, Mr. Akufo-Addo won the December 7, 2020 Presidential Election.
The Court further ruled that results declared on December 9, 2020 despite the initial inadvertent error reflected the will of the people of Ghana and therefore could not be overturned simply on the basis of the error made by the Electoral Commission (EC) during the declaration.
In its live televised ruling, the Supreme Court dismissed the Petitioner, 2020 Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama’s ” as without merit.”
