The Supreme Court is set to hear a case brought by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) today, Thursday, 23 January, challenging a High Court ruling that directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to finalise and declare parliamentary results in four constituencies.<\/p>\n
The High Court, presided over by Justice Forson Baah Agyapong, on Saturday, 4 January, granted a mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n
The ruling instructed the EC to complete the collation of results for Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, Techiman South, and Ablekuma North constituencies and announce the winners.<\/p>\n
In compliance with the ruling, the EC has since re-collated the results for three of the constituencies\u2014Okaikwei Central, Tema Central, and Techiman South\u2014leaving Ablekuma North outstanding.<\/p>\n
The NDC, however, has petitioned the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn the High Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
They contend that the ruling should be quashed, raising questions about its implications for the electoral process.<\/p>\n
The apex court’s decision on this matter is expected to have significant political and legal ramifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
