I am yet to receive a congratulatory message from Mahama for winning election 2020 – Akufo-Addo

President Akufo-Addo said three years after winning the 2020 elections that he is still waiting for his primary rival, John Mahama, to congratulate him on his victory.

Midway through a speech ahead of Constitution Day, the President halted short to say, “On a lighter note, three years on, I am still waiting for my main opponent in the 2020 election to congratulate me on my victory.”

President Akufo-Addo’s remark may reopen old wounds for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, Mr Mahama.

Days after the 2020 election results were announced, Mr Mahama sued the Electoral Commission (EC) and President Akufo-Addo, disputing the legitimacy of the December 7 election results.

He petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the declaration and re-run the election between himself and President Akufo-Addo.

Nonetheless, after hearing the case for three months, a seven-member panel of Supreme Court Judges unanimously dismissed the election petition submitted by the 2020 Presidential Candidate on March 4, 2021.
According to the Supreme Court, this is because the matter before it was without merit.

Chief Justice Anin Yeboah stated that the petitioner failed to address all five concerns raised by the court in order for the case to be decided.
