A former deputy general secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has said contrary to claims that he declared former President John Dramani Mahama as the winner of the polls, he never declared him as a winner.
The outspoken political explained that he said the NDC was in a comfortable lead at the time based on results that they had collated at the time.
He said there is a clear difference between a comfortable lead and winning an election.
At the time, Mahama conceded defeat even before Charlotte Osei even declared the winner.
He said he never declared Mahama a winner, as compared to what some officers did in 2020, although they knew the NDC lost.
”But in 2020, all of you said he had won. You described him as President-elect, some even asked him to form a parallel government and set up a cabinet because you claimed he had won.
He also said he had won. Then we had to go to the Supreme Court. We went to the Supreme Court, they could not provide the evidence to show that they had won. They had no figures when they had already incited the NDC youth.
They misled the youth when they had no figures. So what kind of political party are you building?
Koku Anyidoho further stated you cannot continue to mislead p[eople and expect them to believe you all the time.
He added that if people are asking the Chief Justice to resign over alleged bribery, then those people should also resign for misleading party supporters that they won when they did not win.
He was speaking on ‘Stories of Life’ on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm with Nat Sankofa Tete-Arthur.
