NDC legal team denies ever implying 2012 polls were flawed

The legal team of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied ever suggesting that the 2012 presidential elections were flawed.

The party, together with President John Mahama, is in court battling allegations they benefited from irregularities that characterized the 2012 elections.

During last Tuesday’s cross examination, NDC lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata tendered in a pink sheet before Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the second petitioner and star witness, which allegedly contained figures of over voting in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) stronghold of the Ashanti region.

But Nana Ato Dadzie, a member of the NDC legal team told journalists outside the court that their team never claimed the elections were flawed.
