The Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama says he has not congratulated any person for winning the 2020 presidential election.
"I want to state categorically and firmly, that I have not congratulated any person. And no attempt should be made to steal this election, we will resist it."
At a press briefing Tuesday night, [December 8, 2020] Mr Mahama said, "We thank the Ghanaian people for the confidence they've expressed in us and it is clear the Ghanaian people want a change in this country."
"Ghanaians are tired of Akufo-Addo and his government. We thank the electorate for giving us a working majority in Parliament, 140 seats in Parliament, which is a majority and no attempt should be made to subvert that."

Mr Mahama said some of the things that are happening is "unacceptable and Nana Akufo-Addo continues to show credentials that are very undemocratic, you cannot use the military to try and overturn the results in constituencies that we have won."
He said the right thing must be done and the NDC has collated its results and will give further details later and urged NDC supporters to remain calm and "we wait for the final verdict."
