Addressing the media in Accra after the hearing of the petition, Mr Nkrumah explained that Mr Ampaw was able to expose what the NDC claimed were inconsistencies in the election petition filed by John Dramani Mahama.

He expressed satisfaction about how Mr Ampaw was able to expose the NDC through his cross-examination of the General Secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.

According to Mr Nkrumah, Asiedu Nketia could not substantiate any of the claims that forced Mahama to file the election petition.

He insisted that Mr Ampaw used the day to correct “outright falsehoods” by the petitioner.

“We are of the view that today has been a big day in court and the big word today is ‘exposed’. You would notice that counsel on our side spent a lot of time exposing the inconsistencies and sometimes the outright falsehoods that have been put out by the petitioner (Mr Mahama) and the witness who was in the witness box today.”

“So when you juxtapose the earlier claims that they won and now what they are saying in the witness box today that they don’t know who won, you will realise there is a discrepancy…One of the first things that the counsel on our side sort to do today was to expose the inconsistencies and sometimes outright falsehood by the petitioner and the witness,” he explained.

Mr Mahama is in court challenging the outcome of the presidential election results declared by the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Adukwei Mensa on December 9, 2020 with Mr Asiedu Nketia as one of his witnesses.
