The Electoral Commission has rejected claims by former President John Mahama that the 2020 election was rigged in favour of President Akufo-Addo.
According to the commission, they are ready to welcome police probe into the claims of Mr. Mahama.
“The former President has said the EC thumb printed one million ballot papers for the President of the Republic. This is untrue; and it is a great matter that undermines the credibility of the electoral system and should not be ignored.
“We see that our silence on this matter has dire consequences on public confidence in the Commission, and we want the police to investigate it,” Deputy Chairman of the EC in charge of Corporate Services, Dr Eric Bossman Asare said at a press conference on Monday.
Mr. Mahama has described the 2020 polls as the worst election in Ghana’s history.
According to him, the election was marred by numerous irregularities which are unprecedented in the history of the country.
“2020 was Ghana’s worst election. If I was marking her, I would have given her an F. She is marking her own paper after examination so she can give herself any mark she likes,” the former President who was flagbearer of the NDC in the 2020 polls told Cape FM in Cape Coast where he is currently on his ‘Thank you tour’.
