Election 2020: Watch the mood at Mahama’s office after EC’s verdict

It was a rather calm and pensive atmosphere at NDC’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama’s office a few minutes after the declaration of the 2020 election results.

Perhaps, struck by the news, party members present at the office complex in Cantonments appear to be in a sober mood with fewer engagements.

Before the declaration of the results, scores of NDC party members besieged the Electoral Commission headquarters protesting the results which at that time reflected a win for the ruling New Patriotic Party.
