Mac Manu threatens to have attached videos of NDC’s claim of victory to his testimony against Mahama
Peter Mac Manu, Campaign Manager of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that he has attached videos of the leaders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) claiming they have won the 2020 elections in his testimony against former President John Dramani Mahama in the election petition.
He argued that the NDC’s petition is without merit and based on unfounded and misconceived assumptions.

Mr Mac Manu explained that the petitioner did not disclose any attack on the validity of the election held throughout the 38,622 polling stations and 311 special voting centers.
He described the allegations of wrong aggregation of votes and vote padding as “empty and collectively involve about 6,622 votes- this is a sum patently insignificant to materially affect the outcome of an election which 2nd respondent defeated Petitioner by well over 500,000 votes.”
Mr Mac Manu further indicated that Mr Mahama failed to disclose in the petition the number of valid votes he believed he actually obtained and what Mr Mahama believed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo got to merit a run off.

“The Petition is largely conjectural and borne out of petitioner’s unfounded imagination”, he added.
The entire petition, Mr Mac Manu claimed is premised on the insignificant accuracies and slips made by the Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson in her declaration.
He described the petition as a ruse and face-saving gimmick deployed by Mr Mahama after the official results declared by the EC and election observers showed he had lost the polls despite claiming victory earlier.

Mr Mac Manu threatened the NDC that as part of his testimony and claim that Former President Mahama’s petition was vexatious, he has attached to his statement videos of NDC leaders who had claimed John Mahama won the election by more than 51per cent of votes casts.
He further indicated that the petition however stated that no candidate obtained more than 50per cent of the votes including the NDC candidate who said to have won by more than 51per cent.
