ACCRA, 5 March, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, Nana Akufo-Addo the President of Ghana was retained as a leader.
The move came after a seven-member panel of the country’s top court Judges' dismissal of the election petition filed by main opposition leader John Mahama.
The Supreme Court gave a unanimous decision that the case had no merit.
Former President John Dramani Mahama took the Electoral Commission to court.
He sought to challenge validity of results and subsequent declaration of President Akufo-Addo as the winner.
But reading the ruling of the court Thursday, Chief Justice Anin Yeboah said the petitioner did not satisfy all the 5 issues outlined by the court to determine the case.
The observers believed that the election was generally calm. However, five people were killed in violence on voting and counting day, according to police.
