The pro-democracy group stated that the Electoral Commission's (EC) declaration of results in the just-ended elections constitutes a subversion of the will of the people.
It added that the government used forces in brutalising ordinary citizens during the elections which were plans to rig the elections leading to the death of unarmed civilians who went to exercise their fundamental human rights.
However, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has described the December 7, 2020, general elections conducted by the Jean Mensa-led Electoral Commission (EC) as "transparent, free, fair, credible and safe".
