Opposition party may have won the general election in Ghana. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it is on the way to win the 2016 general election and wants President John Mahama to concede ahead of the formal declaration of the results by the Electoral Commission.
A report this morning by Ghana’s leading daily The Graphic quoted the National Campaign Manager of NPP, Mr Peter Mac Manu, as urged President Mahama to concede defeat because his party has built-up an unassailable lead.
It quoted him as saying that per the party’s “parallel” counting of results from polling station pink sheets, Nana Addo has amassed 54% out of 80% of the votes counted so far.
“He said Nana has secured 4.6 million votes while incumbent President John Mahama has 3.694 million votes,” the report said, adding that Manu also said that NPP was on the way to amass more parliamentary seats than the ruling NDC, calling the development a “tsunami”.
