705 The Electoral Commission (EC) and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo have filed their witness statements in the election petition filed by the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 polls, former President John Dramani Mahama. In the statements, the Chairperson of the EC, Mrs Jean Mensa, who testified for the commission (first respondent), insisted that the collation of the results from the constituency polling stations to the EC Head Office was in accordance with law, while Mr Peter Mac Manu, who testified for President Akufo-Addo, argued that the petition filed by the former President was without merit and based on unfounded and misconstrued assertions.
