The government has described as irresponsible calls by the opposition National Democratic Congress that its members should pour out and jubilate over the results of 2020 polls.
Former President Mahama in a terse address Tuesday night said the NDC won the elections and will not allow “anyone to steal the ballot”.
Mr. Mahama also reiterated the party’s claim that they have won the majority in parliament.
However reacting to the claim, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said the utterances of the former President are unfortunate.
“A claim by Mr Mahama that his party has won parliamentary majority is false. So it is important that this claim is shot down now. The figure the electoral commission is putting out is very clear and we want everyone and the international community to take note of it,” the Ofoase Ayirebi MP said.
He stressed: “It is must be said that it is utterly irresponsible for Mr Mahama to ask his supporters to get out there and jubilate. That is contrary to the Peace Pact that was signed by Presidential candidates before the elections. So his actions go against what he himself signed on to as a candidate”.
