Nana Akufo-Addo has won the 2016 presidential election beyond “riggable margin”, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Otchere-Darko, has said.
“In Africa, opposition must win beyond a riggable margin. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has done just that with his parliamentary candidates. Congrats, Ghanaians!” he posted on Facebook on Thursday December 8, a day after the general election in the country.
Earlier in a tweet, Mr Otchere-Darko said the NPP flag bearer had won the 2016 presidential race by 54 per cent.
“Results from NPP's national collation centre so far: We have so far 17,559 polling station results, 60.68%, with 11,508 remaining (39.33%). Nana Akufo-Addo has 55.70%, representing 3,589,131 votes. John Mahama has 2,762,548, or 42.68%. Note. This is a provisional but true reflection of pinksheet numbers,” the nephew of the NPP candidate said on Facebook and tweeted that the NPP had won a clear majority in parliament.
Meanwhile, President John Mahama has tweeted, asking Ghanaians to disregard Mr Otchere-Darko’s claim of an opposition victory.
“Ignore Gabby's post,” he tweeted.

IN OUR PART OF THE WORLD. WHEN ELECTION RESULTS ARE BEING UNNECESSARILY DELAYED, THE INCUMBENT HAS LOST!!!!!!!!!
IT IS SAFE FOR EC AND THE NATION FOR EC TO RELEASE THE RESULTS DECLARED AT POLLING STATIONS AND COLLATED AT CONSTITUENCIES. LET ANYBODY WHO IS DISSATISFIED PROVIDE THE BASIS TO CHALLENGE. DO YOUR PART EC AND LEAVE ANY CONTROVERSY TO THE COURTS. JUST DO YOUR WORK AS A REFEREE AND LEAVE THE REST TO LAW. DONT REPEAT ANY OF THE MISTAKES YOU MADE BEFORE ELECTIONS BY TAKING WRONG DECISIONS ONLY TO BE CORRECTED BY THE COURTS. YOU HAVE SAID SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM IN GHANA DETERMINES RESULTS AND NOT EC. SO LET IT BE SO. DONT OPPOSE YOUR OWN SYSTEM AND BE A FAILURE. SO FAR ALL HAS WORKED SO WELL TILL NOW. GET THE MESS BEHIND YOU AND MOVE ON EC.
