President Nana Akufo-Addo says the Supreme Court has affirmed his victory in the December 2020 presidential election.
The incumbent President who stood on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took to his Twitter handle to celebrate his victory.
“On Thursday, 4th March 2021, the Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling, affirmed my victory in the presidential election of 7th December 2020”, he posted on Twitter.

A seven-member panel of Supreme Court Judges has in a unanimous decision dismissed the election petition filed by the 2020 NDC Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama.
This according to the apex court is because the case before it has no merit.
Former President John Mahama who lost the 2016 elections and re-contested the 2020 polls on the ticket of the NDC, took the Electoral Commission to court, challenging the validity of results and the declaration of President Akufo-Addo as the winner.
But reading the ruling of the court today, Chief Justice Anin Yeboah said the petitioner did not satisfy all the five issues outlined by the court to determine the case.
