Ghanaian Private Legal Practitioner, Lawyer Gary Nimako Marfo has slammed the Ex-President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama over his election petition at the Supreme Court.
The Ex President has petitioned the supreme Court to grant his request for a second election because, to him, neither President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo nor he attained the required results in the 2020 elections to be elected President of Ghana.
He has dragged the Electoral Commission and the Sitting President Nana Akuffo Addo to the supreme court, cited in his case as First and Second Respondents respectively.
Assessing the court proceedings, Lawyer Gary Nimako is well convinced Mr. Mahama has no case at all but rather seeking sympathy from his party supporters to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and contest in the next 2024 general elections.
He argued that before Mr. Mahama went to court, he paraded himself as the President-elect and even made statements to the effect that the election verdict was a subversion of the will of Ghanaians.
To lawyer Nimako, just as the former President was telling Ghanaians and his supporters that he had won the elections, he should have gone to the Supreme Court declaring himself President-elect and praying the court to rule in his favour.
He expressed utter surprise that Mr. Mahama when to court and change his tongue saying he didn’t win the elections and doesn’t believe President Nana Akufo-Addo won either, hence seeking a run-off.
Mr. John Dramani Mahama has deceived Ghanaians. He has deceived NDC faithful because what he said publicly is a different thing he’s saying in court
This is a preparatory ground for former President John Dramani Mahama for 2024. He’s making preparation so that he will stage a comeback
he said
He made these submissions on Peace FM’s flagship programme ”Kokrokoo”.
