Supporters Speaks with the Media

Speaking to the television station, one of the party’s supporters said, Mahama handed over power to Nana Addo peacefully and expect Nana Addo to same.

“John Mahama has won, they should give it to him, we are tired of Akufo Addo, Electoral Commission should declare it for Mahama,” another stated.

“Since 1992, if Democratic wins in America, Democratic win in Ghana, if Republican wins in America, Republican win in Ghana, a Democrat has won in America, Democrat must win in Ghana too,” another said.

“We have win more seat in parliament so we have won, they should not steal the verdict from us, Mahama has won,” another said.
