SONA 2021: Election Petition Verdict Was Well Reasoned And Excellent- Akufo-Addo
President of the Republic, Nana Akufo-Addo has expressed delight in the election petition victory saying that the ruling by the 7 judges of the Supreme Court was well reasoned and excellent.
The President who was delivering his first State of the Nation Address in his 2nd term monitored by wontumionline.com stressed that, “it’s always good to be back in Parliament to discharge the duty in accordance with Article 67 of delivering the State of the Nation message.”
A seven-member panel of Supreme Court Judges in a unanimous decision dismissed the election petition filed by the 2020 NDC Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama.
This according to the apex court is because the case before it has no merit.
Former President John Mahama who lost the 2016 elections and re-contested the 2020 polls on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), took the Electoral Commission to court, challenging the validity of results and the declaration of President Akufo-Addo as the winner.
