General Secretary for the NDC, Asiedu Nketia addressing a press conference said John Mahama will soon announce the real figures of the presidential race as against what the EC has declared.
Asiedu Nketia also said they are ready with their pink sheets because the figures from the EC are not a true reflection of the polls.
Recounting events leading to the declaration, he said they sent a petition to the EC but they refused to grant them hearing to be able to resolve all issues before the declaration.
He said this is the first time EC had to go back and correct figures after declaration.
