Mr. Amaliba said the executives of the NDC have gone around the country and gathered evidence that will annul the results announced by Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.
“I think the team has concluded its work as of yesterday and they’ll have to present their findings to the flagbearer and we lawyers are interested in the work they’ve done. The team was looking and padding and swapping of votes and also undervoting and overvoting and this is for presidential. For parliamentary, we are looking at 9 seats but for presidential, it’s nationwide,” he said on Starr FM.
He added: “You see huge votes given to Akufo-Addo and reduction of votes for John Mahama and these are some of the things we’ve come across. We’ll put it in the public domain soon. We don’t want to go to court on flimsy grounds. We want to go to court with evidence that can stand the test of time

Meanwhile, legal practitioner Yaw Oppong has expressed satisfaction over the decision of the NDC to challenge the results of the polls in court.
“I think it’s quite comforting that the parties who feel aggrieved with the decision of the EC regarding the results of parliamentary & presidential election have taken a decision to go to court. If you are challenging the results, I think all parties should have their pink sheets and be clear in your mind that you can establish a prima facie case and also have the gazetted results,” he said.
