Former President John Dramani Mahama has filed his witness statements in the 2020 presidential election petition.
The statements were filed Wednesday, January 27, 2021 in line with the orders of the Supreme Court.
The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia and Dr Michael Kpessa Whyte who was one of candidate John Mahama’s agents at the Electoral Commission head office during the collation of the election results are among the witnesses.
Mr. Mahama is seeking to set aside the results of the election that went in favor of the NPP’s Nana Akufo-Addo.
The court on Tuesday, January 26 served notice it had the power to sanction Mr. Mahama’s legal team including dismissing the election petition should its orders be disobeyed.
This was after Mr. Mahama’s team had failed to obey an order on January 20 directing them to file witness statements and legal arguments relating to the initial objection by the respondents.
The two documents have since been filed by Mr. Mahama’s team.
