Thursday, March 4 marked the end of the hearing of the 2020 election petition which was brought before the Supreme Court by former President John Dramani Mahama, NDC flag bearer for the 2020 elections.

The National Democratic Congress flagbearer petitioned Supreme Court to annul the 2020 election results.

The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission Mrs Jean Mensa was the first respondent and President Akuffo-Addo the second respondent respectively.

However, soon after the Supreme Court dismissed the case yesterday lawyers representing present Akuffo-Addo started singing victory songs and waving white handkerchieves.
