Election Petition: Mahama absent at Supreme Court's 3rd hearing

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama, is absent in court at the Supreme Court’s third hearing of the election petition.

It is not yet known the reason for Mahama's absence but it is alleged he is currently out of the country.

He has been represented by the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, who will sit in for the Petitioner [Mahama].
