Heavy security presence as Supreme Court hears NDC’s suit against High Court ruling on re-collation

There was a heavy security presence at the Supreme Court on Friday, December 27 ahead of the hearing of the suit against the High Court’s ruling on the disputed constituency results filed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The NDC is challenging a High Court ruling that directed the Electoral Commission (EC) to re-collate parliamentary election results in nine disputed constituencies.

Aggrieved parliamentary candidates from the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) had filed a writ, seeking to compel the EC to hold fresh elections in these constituencies.

They cited anomalies in the collation of results and the subsequent declaration of winners.

Presiding judge Joseph Adu Owusu Agyeman, in his ruling on Friday, December 20, ordered the EC to proceed with the recollation of the results in the Ablekuma North constituency.

This ruling was made despite objections from NDC legal representatives, led by Godwin Edudzi Tameklo.

Both lawyers argued that the results of the constituencies had already been declared, but the court determined that anomalies in the process warranted the re-collation.
