Presidential candidate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 elections John Dramani Mahama has admitted that elections are won on the grounds and not the Supreme Court.
According to him, the party has learnt its lessons following the controversial loss in the 2020 elections.
Addressing party executives and supporters in Bolgatanga in the Upper East region, former President Mahama told the party executives that the party would adopt measures to win on the ground and avoid going to the Supreme Court for redress.
“That lesson has been painfully learnt and shall not be forgotten. Elections are won or lost at the polling stations and collation levels and doing everything right, not at the Supreme Court” he added.
Mr. Mahama went on to state that the party managed to increase its votes from 4 million to over 6 million votes in the presidential elections adding “but for arm twisting, we would have had 145 seats, and won a clear majority in Parliament.”
He added that, “we have learnt from our mistakes. Next time we’ll score 15 over 15 in this region.”
