The Supreme Court is set to hear the opposition National Democratic Congress’ legal challenge on the exclusion of the current voter ID card from the June 30 voter registration exercise, today, June 11, 2020.
Ahead of the hearing, there is heavy security presence at the premises of the court.
At least 50 armed personnel from the Formed Police Unit of the Ghana police service have been deployed to provide security at the Supreme Court.
It is still unclear what the immediate danger warranting this deployment is as commanding officers remain mute.
The Court at its last sitting last Thursday directed the Electoral Commission to submit its legal justification for seeking to exclude the old voter ID card from the required list of proof of eligibility to register to vote in the 2020 general elections.
This has subsequently been done with the NDC also filing a supplementary statement.
