NPP heads to court tomorrow, Dec 28

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will head to the Supreme Court tomorrow to commence its law suit against the Electoral Commission (EC).

The party challenges the Electoral Commission's declaration of President John Mahama as winner in the 2012 Presidential elections.

They accuse the EC and the ruling National Democratic Congress of conniving to rig the elections.

EC Chairman, Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan on December 9 declared President John Dramani Mahama victor in the polls.

He polled 5,574,761 votes representing 50.70% while the NPP 2012 Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo took the second position with 5,248,898 votes representing 47.74%.

Some NPP stalwarts have described as electoral fraud the results certified by the Electoral Commission and has since December 8, protested the accuracy of the electoral figures churned out in the polls.

The party's legal team has pieced together evidence that they say would unearth all the inconsistencies during the elections.

The party is optimistic about its law suit and is yet to present the case before the Supreme Court on Friday, December 28, 2012.
