The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has revealed that the party’s longstanding lawyer, Tsatsu Tsikata, had initial qualms about the NDC’s 2020 election petition.
According to him, the respected legal practitioner first doubted the substance of the case, even though he eventually represented the party in the case.
Speaking in what is believed to be a recording of a leaked address to some party faithful, Asiedu Nketia said Mr. Tsikata’s initial hesitance was due to the fact that the collated results supervised by the party’s National Chairman were poorly done.
He said the NDC had no collated results, and thus Mr Tsikata rejected the first set of documentation which the party was seeking to rely on to challenge the Electoral Commission’s declaration in Court.
