Ghana's opposition NDC presidential candidate John Mahama has said he will "not accept anything short of a declaration of the legitimate results", despite the electoral commission declaring incumbent President Nana Akufo-Addo winner of the election with 51.59% of total votes cast.
Mr Mahama led Ghana between 2012 and 2017. He ran for office again in this month's presidential election but came a close second with 47.36% of the vote, according to the electoral body.
He also accused the military of interfering in the election, and told reporters, "we will take all legitimate steps to reverse this tragedy of justice".
