The Supreme Court has today dismissed the election petition brought before it by the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama.

In a judgement read by the Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin-Yeboah on Thursday, March 4, 2021.“The petitioner did not demonstrate in any way how the errors affected the declaration of the election…We have therefore no reason to order a re-run [of the election]. We accordingly dismiss the petition,”

John Mahama was challenging the results of the polls insisting that none of the nine presidential candidates obtained the mandatory 50%+1 vote constitutional threshold to be declared the winner of the polls.
