The opposition NDC says it will insist on a live broadcast of its petition to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential elections.
A member of the NDC’s legal team, Rockson Nelson Defeamekpor, on Saturday [December 26th] confirmed that the party will officially be heading to court on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, to challenge the results of the just ended polls.
Another member of the party’s legal team, Abraham Amaliba, has added that they will request a live telecast of their petition at the Supreme Court, similar to the 2012 election petition.

“We expect to be treated fairly, this is a national issue. We also expect that if we are able to make our case beyond a reasonable doubt, I am sure that the Supreme Court will hold that Nana Akufo-Addo did not attain the required 50 +1 votes,” Mr. Amaliba said, as quoted by pulsegh.
“Indeed, we also expect that the petition will be telecast live. Any attempt to hinder that will create the impression that the hearing is not going to be fair, so we will put in the request to have it telecast live.”
The NDC is challenging the results of presidential and parliamentary elections, having accused the Electoral Commission (EC) of rigging the polls.
