Host of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV, Paul Adom-Otchere
Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana host Paul Adom-Otchere questioned why the NDC would go to court without first collating its own 2020 general election results.
When Johnson Asiedu Nketia, secretary general of the Democratic National Congress, raised the witness stand in the 2020 election petition pending to the Supreme Court as the first witness, he did not answer questions about whether he had collected his party’s results to share. with the yard.
Further, he failed to tell the court what total figures the first defendant in the case, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had and for which they are contesting.
Former President John Dramani Mahama is in court to challenge the declared results of the 2020 elections as declared by Jean Mensa, chairman of the electoral commission, in favor of Akufo-Addo.
But Paul Adom-Otchere, during Good Evening Ghana on Thursday evening, questioned why such a party in a case of such a nature would appear in court without such important details about the case, insisting they have a duty to Ghanaians to share what they have. with them.
“I think they have the results. The NDC has to come and show the results they have, unless of course they are worried about the results they have cannot make their case, but if the results they have do reason why they have mounted an election petition whether the petition is successful or not, they owe it to Ghanaians to show the Ghanaian people that we have the election results.
Adom-Otchere further indicated that if all independent election observers, including the media and civil society organizations, were able to independently collect their figures and obtain the necessary results, how much more does the NDC, an election stakeholder, claim? he doesn’t. t have duplicates of the pink leaves.
“What’s the point of the NDC in saying I don’t have it?” We have to stop the NDC from saying it doesn’t have the results; they must bring results ”, he underlined.
He expressed his surprise that a major opposition political party after ruling Ghana for so many years and having had important figures within the party base, “and Johnson Asiedu Nketia is going to court and on three issues important say I don’t have the results. What does that mean?”
He further questioned whether the party takes Ghanaians seriously.
“Does the NDC take Ghanaians for granted? Are they taking their own people for granted? “
