A Youth Organizer aspirant of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Prince-Kamal Gumah has congratulated President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on the affirmation of their victory in December 7, 2020, presidential elections by the Supreme Court of Ghana.
“Congratulation to the president and vice president for this victory. I pray and hope their good leadership will see Ghana where it supposed to be,” he said
The Supreme Court on Thursday, 4 March 2021 upheld the results of last year’s presidential election, saying the petitioner failed to prove that the winner did not cross the constitutionally required threshold of more than 50 per cent of the votes cast.
The ruling means President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will continue in office as President until his second term is over.
Nana Akufo-Addo polled 51.3 per cent of the valid votes, according to figures from the Electoral Commission while the petitioner, who was the 2020 flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Mahama, polled 47 per cent.
Delivering the judgment, Chief Justice Anin-Yeboah said: “the petition is dismissed as without merit.”
Prince-Kamal Gumah who is eying a national position in the ruling party said he is impressed with the sterling performance of his party’s Nana Addo’s legal team.
