The petitioner more alleged that the Electoral Fee padded votes in favour of the governing NPP.
This assert was based mostly on a later on declaration of election final results by the EC soon after an initial just one was created.
The NPP’s authorized group, on the other hand, has rebutted the claims, insisting that President Akufo-Addo gained the elections with vast majority of votes solid in his favour.
“When the calculations [of the election results] had been made in court docket, at each and every point in time, Johnson Asiedu Nketia [PW 1] arrived at the additional than 50% threshold for Nana Akufo-Addo.
“As these, the court docket said that you can’t fixate on the mistakes and it’s improper to do so but use the corrected figures that have been place out by the EC.
“And when the ECs knowledge was employed, the figures obviously and abundantly confirmed that Nana Addo Dankwa acquired the 50%+ threshold,” the attorney reported.
