Speaking to Radio gold morning show he attributed this to the utterances of threat and the posture some of the leaders and functionaries of the NPP adopted before the elections.

He praised the NDC for the matured manner in which they accepted defeat and collaborated to a peaceful transition and handover.

KSM as popularly called was speaking to a range of issues that included the news that John Mahama’s family are urging him not to contest the 2020 elections and the violent take over of state institutions by supporters of NPP.
